No IAC Despite "Demonstrable Errors" by Counsel

Goble v. Saffle, 2006 WL 1901022 (7/12/06)(unpub'd) - The 10th rejects an ineffective assistance of counsel claim on the disturbing ground that, even if counsel made "demonstrable errors," overall he did a fine job. As a result, counsel did function as counsel by adversarily testing the state's case. That's good enough.
