How have the courts dealt with the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel claims?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Shorty, B264622 (Cal. App. 2016):

some of those objections were sustained and others were overruled. Shorty complains, without documentary support, that defense counsel tried to convince him to take an offered plea bargain of 19 years; we note that ultimately Shorty was sentenced to 25 years. He asserts the jury was picked "without my permission" and contained no African Americans. The latter assertion, as stated, is not a constitutional violation and we note the record states that - right before the defense accepted the jury panel - "defense counsel and the defendant conferred." (See People v. Mendoza Tello (1997) 15 Cal.4th 264, 266-267 [ineffective assistance of counsel claims are generally properly decided in a habeas corpus proceeding rather than on appeal].)
