Questions presented

  1. May a defense attorney completely fail to subject the State’s case to adversarial testing during a trial, without thereby depriving a criminal defendant of the effective assistance of counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment and a fair trial guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment? (Implicating Amend. V, VI and XIV, U.S. Constitution)

  2. Does it deny a Defendant Due Process of law when the Court of Appeals goes outside of the record on appeal to find that there was an intentional strategy engaged in with the approval of the Defendant, for defense counsel to not ask any questions during trial? (Implicating Amend. V and XIV, U.S. Constitution)
