How has the court interpreted defense counsel's tactical purpose?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tapia, 25 Cal.App.4th 984, 30 Cal.Rptr.2d 851 (Cal. App. 1994):
Defense counsel's tactical purpose was not explicitly articulated to the trial court. Rather, the high court inferred this purpose based upon its interpretation of the record as a whole. (Cf. People v. Brown (1962) 200 Cal.App.2d 111, 115-116, 19 Cal.Rptr. 36.)
