The following excerpt is from People v. Scott, B226851 (Cal. App. 2012):
unreasonable or deficient, proof of such matters requires a showing beyond the scope of the record on appeal and may be presented in a petition for habeas corpus. (People v. Jones (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1229, 1263 [issues requiring review of matters outside the record are better raised on habeas corpus rather than on direct appeal].)
