Description

1. "In the determination of a claim that an accused was prejudiced by ineffective assistance of counsel violative of Article
III, Section 14 of the West Virginia Constitution and the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, courts should
measure and compare the questioned counsel's performance by whether he exhibited the normal and customary degree of skill
possessed by attorneys who are reasonably knowledgeable of criminal law, except that proved counsel error which does not affect
the outcome of the case, will be regarded as harmless error." Syllabus Point 19, State v. Thomas, 157 W.Va. 640, 203 S.E.2d
445 (1974). 2. "Where a counsel's performance, attacked as ineffective, arises from occurrences involving strategy, tactics and arguable
courses of action, his conduct will be deemed effectively assistive of his client's interests, unless no reasonably qualified
defense attorney would have so acted in the defense of an accused." Syllabus Point 21, State v. Thomas, 157 W.Va. 640, 203
S.E.2d 445 (1974).
