• W3125473626 abstract "INTRODUCTIONIn a trio of recent Padilla v. Kentucky,1 Missouri v. Frye,2 Lafler v. Cooper,3 U.S. Supreme Court focused its attention on counsel's pivotal role during plea bargaining process. The Court recognized long ago that a criminal defendant was entitled to effective assistance of counsel at plea stage.4 Prior to Cooper, however, Court had not found that counsel's advice to turn down a plea bargain could constitute ineffective assistance.5 Likewise, prior to Padilla, Court had not overturned a guilty plea because counsel failed to alert a defendant to a significant consequence-deportation-that followed from that plea.6 Before Frye, it had never declared that defense counsel did not render effective assistance Constitution requires because counsel had neglected to communicate an earlier favorable plea offer.7To Justice Scalia, decision in Cooper elevates plea bargaining from a necessary evil to a constitutional entitlement, upends decades of our cases, and opens a whole new boutique of constitutional jurisprudence.8 Cooper, Frye, Padilla, however, do not portend major changes in nation's criminal justice systems. Rather, these cases largely represent a rejection of Scalia's unduly narrow view of counsel's role his belief that a voluntary guilty plea or a decision to reject a plea offer should be immune from an ineffective assistance claim, even when defendant's decision was based on counsel's professionally deficient advice. Given that the negotiation of a plea bargain, rather than unfolding of a trial, is almost always critical point for a defendant,9 Court's willingness under certain circumstances to find that a counsel's professionally unsound plea bargaining performance constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel is hardly remarkable.Indeed, few commentators see these decisions as signaling a major shift in Court's general reluctance to find that a criminal lawyer's representation was both professionally unreasonable prejudicial.10 This is largely because of deferential nature of ineffective assistance of counsel test set forth in Strickland v. Washington.11 As Justice Stevens noted in Padilla, [s]urmounting Strickland's high bar is never an easy task.12 Unquestionably, when judging performance of counsel in negotiating a plea, Court will apply a strong presumption that counsel's performance was reasonable, give substantial deference to counsel's judgment, avoid second guessing counsel's nuanced strategic calls.13 As Justice Stevens confidently proclaimed in Padilla, [w]e should, therefore, presume that counsel satisfied their obligation to render competent advice at time their clients considered pleading guilty.14Given woefully inadequate advice provided to many defendants by indigent defenders who lack time or resources to adequately investigate, analyze, or prepare defendant's case, such a sweeping presumption is unwarranted.15 If Court truly intends right to effective counsel at plea bargaining stage to be meaningful, it cannot continue to ignore systemic features that render this right largely meaningless for many defendants. It must be willing to provide relief to those defendants who suffer prejudice because of counsel's deficient plea bargaining performance.As Court reiterated in Padilla, criminal defendants ought not be left to 'mercies of incompetent counsel.'16 The troubling practice of some prosecutors who demand that defendants waive ineffective assistance of counsel claims as a condition of a negotiated plea, however, does just that. In essence, such a practice nullifies right to effective assistance of counsel at plea stage by leaving accused represented by incompetent counsel without any recourse once defendant enters a plea.17By its very nature, a plea of guilty involves defendant waiving certain constitutional rights such as right to a trial before a judge or jury, to confront cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses to testify on one's behalf, to remain silent or to testify, to require government to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. …" @default.
