California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Avendano, B213372, Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. TA093637 (Cal. App. 2010):
Ineffective assistance of counsel is only prejudicial if it is reasonably probable that the result would have been different absent counsel's error. (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 694, 696.) No such probability exists in this case.
