The following excerpt is from In re Todd Jose Tibbs On Habeas Corpus, D067841 (Cal. App. 2015):
"To establish ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must show (1) counsel's performance was deficient and fell below an objective standard of reasonableness and (2) it is reasonably probable that a more favorable result would have been reached absent the deficient performance. [Citation.] A reasonable probability is a 'probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.' " (People v. Jones (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 735, 746-747.)
