Davis v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on February 21, 2023
Issue: Whether a criminal defense attorney provides prejudicially ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to initiate plea negotiations with the prosecutors where such negotiations would be likely to yield a substantially better outcome for the defendant than would going to trial or, instead, whether counsel’s plea-negotiation obligation arises only if the prosecutors first initiate plea negotiations and make a plea offer.
