What is the test for ineffective assistance of counsel in a motion to sever?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Caradine, A121968 (Cal. App. 2012):
p. 782.) Accordingly, we conclude that appellant has failed to show ineffective assistance of counsel because it is not reasonably probable that, had counsel pressed for a ruling on the final motion to sever, the additional argument about the jury pool would have led to a different result. (See Strickland v. Washington, supra, 466 U.S. at p. 694.)
