The following excerpt is from People v. Tribble, 2d Crim. No. B208015 (Cal. App. 1/27/2010), 2d Crim. No. B208015. (Cal. App. 2010):
Tribble claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial lawyers agreed to allow the prosecution's psychiatric expert to examine him. Ineffective assistance is established by showing "that counsel's performance was deficient" and "the deficient performance prejudiced the defense." (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 687.)
