What is the effect of ineffective assistance of counsel on a defendant's entrapment defense?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Tippins v. Walker, 77 F.3d 682 (2nd Cir. 1996):

We find the defendant's contention regarding the ineffective assistance of counsel to be without merit. The record demonstrates that defense counsel vigorously cross-examined the People's witnesses, delivered opening and closing arguments which were consistent with his entrapment defense, raised appropriate objections, made appropriate motions and presented four defense witnesses, including the defendant. Thus, the defendant was provided with meaningful representation.

People v. Tippins, 173 A.D.2d 512, 513, 570 N.Y.S.2d 581, 582 (2d Dep't 1991) (citations omitted).
