John D. Stufflebeam v. Illinois

Whether the Illinois Courts rejection of Petitioner’s ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim during plea negotiations—where trial counsel affirmatively misadvised Petitioner that the trial court had violated his speedy trial right—conflicts with this court’s decisions in Strickland v. Washington (466 U.S. 668), Missouri v. Frye (132 S. Ct. 1790), Lafler v. Cooper (563 U.S. 563)

Whether a defendant is prejudiced under the Sixth Amendment where counsel’s affirmative misadvice causes the defendant to reject a favorable plea offer and proceed to trial, resulting in a sentence twice as long as the offer.
