Question presented

There is a growing sinkhole-sized need for some things to be simply clearer. Does ruliltg the substantive nature of materially relevant documentary evidence with apparent exculpatory value effected non-existent, without applying any statutorily required standards of evidentiary error, contravene constitutionally guaranteed substantial rights by applying standards of Strickland u. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984) in a vacuum? Does it breach well-established law to rule that actual existing conflicted representation, memorialized by counsel in writing, does not require upholding voluntary "knowing and intelligent" standards for valid waivers of substantial rights?
