2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In analyzing a defendant’s complaints about counsel, this Court usually gives great deference to counsel’s trial decisions, and mistakes in trial strategy or tactics do not render counsel’s performance ineffective. Generally, an attorney’s performance will be held ineffective only when there is no tactical or strategic justification for his conduct of the trial.”
