Does a defendant have ineffective assistance of counsel?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Golden, C077539 (Cal. App. 2015):
Construing these claims as allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel, we find no support for them in the record. Since defendant's ineffective assistance claims rely on matters outside the record, his claim is better decided in a habeas corpus proceeding than on appeal. (People v. Michaels (2002) 28 Cal.4th 486, 526.) We therefore decline to reach the merits of his claims.
