Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether a defense attorney renders ineffective assistance of counsel – in violation of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution – by failing to inform a client accused of a crime that an attorney-client "walk-through" of the alleged crime scene is not protected by the attorney-client privilege because the "walk-through" was occurring in the presence of a law enforcement officer who was ordered to escort the client to the scene.
