Cumulative Error
Goodman v. Bertrand, 467 F.3d 1022 (7 th Cir. 2006) Counsel ineffective for numerous reasons.
“Cumulative effect of the errors required reversal. Rather than evaluating each error in
isolation…the pattern of counsel’s deficiencies must be considered in their totality.”
Aldrich v. State, S.W.3d WL 5057647 (TX 2008) Counsel ineffective for numerous reasons.
First, counsel misinterpreted Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419 (1995) to relieve him of any duty to
investigate, misunderstood basic discovery procedures, and misunderstood what legally
constitutes exculpatory evidence. Second, counsel failed to convey the state’s 20-year plea
bargain offer to the defendant because he believed “it would be unethical and would constitute
malpractice to even discuss the proposed plea bargain” with the defendant. Third, counsel
“neither performed a reasonable investigation nor made a reasonable decision that a particular
investigation was unnecessary.” Prejudice found as “[d]efense counsel’s errors pervaded and
prejudiced the entire defense,” including during pretrial and plea negotiations.
