“" Cronic's presumption of prejudice applies to only a very narrow spectrum of cases where the circumstances leading to counsel's ineffectiveness are so egregious that the defendant was in effect denied any meaningful assistance at all." Chadwick v. Green, 740 F.2d 897, 901 (11th Cir.1984).”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A]ny failure of counsel in this case to investigate and pursue all avenues of defense is best characterized as a failure by counsel in the performance of his investigatory duties, which is to be analyzed under [ Strickland ], rather than as a fundamental breakdown of the adversarial process such that prejudice is presumed under Cronic .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In Cronic, the Court carved a narrow exception to [Strickland 's] general rule that a defendant must demonstrate prejudice: a showing of prejudice is not necessary if there are 'circumstances that are so likely to prejudice the accused that the cost of litigating their effect in a particular case is unjustified.'”
