contrary to the ineffective assistance of counsel standard

Goodman v. Bertrand, No. 04-3946 (7th Cir. October 31, 2006)
Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is reversed where the state court decision in defendant's appeal was contrary to the ineffective assistance of counsel standard set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), and an unreasonable application of the standard because the cumulative effect of the defense counsel's errors constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.
