“accept a defendant's knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to conflict-free counsel and permit the defendant to be represented by the attorney of his choice.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Nonetheless, there exists a narrow class of so-called per se conflicts that are not susceptible to waiver. Such conflicts may not be waived because, “while the right to select and be represented by one’s preferred attorney is comprehended by the Sixth Amendment, the essential aim of the Amendment is to guarantee an effective advocate for each criminal defendant rather than to ensure that a defendant will inexorably be represented by the lawyer whom he prefers.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Where an attorney labors under an actual conflict of interest, the public interest 'in ensuring that criminal trials are conducted within the ethical standards of the profession and that the legal proceedings appear fair to all who observe them' trumps a defendant's right to counsel of the defendant's choice and requires disqualification of the attorney.”
