TY for answering..one last thing and I'll leave you alone, lol! From what you have seen so far..do you think it's enough to be overturned because of ineffective councel? Just your opinion..
I don't! It's very hard to get a conviction overturned on such a basis. You need something like the attorney failed to present exculpatory evidence that they actually had or that they slept during trial. Something like that. And remember that it has to be shown that whatever the attorney screwed up changed the outcome of the trial. In other words, they would have to prove that because JB did X, Y or Z, casey was convicted and would not have been otherwise. And that is VERY, VERY hard to show. The state provided enough for a conviction, IMO, without JB and CM's screw ups. Those were just icing on the cake.
