“reasonably substantial, independent investigation”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“To establish a constitutional violation under this standard, a petitioner must demonstrate both an identifiable instance of seriously inadequate performance by counsel, and some actual, substantial disadvantage to the course of his defense resulting from that lapse. Washington v. Strickland, 693 F.2d 1243 , 1258, 1262 (5th Cir.1982) (Unit B, en banc); Boyd v. Estelle, 661 F.2d 388 , 389-90 (5th Cir.1981); Washington v. Watkins, 655 F.2d 1346 , 1359 n. 23, 1360 (5th Cir.1981). The inquiries are conceptually distinct, Washington at 1359 n. 23; the petitioner’s failure to sustain either will result in a denial of the writ. Boyd at 389.”
