Question Presented (from Petition)

In considering whether a criminal-defense attorney's deficient performance was prejudicial under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), is all that matters whether the deficient performance affected the trial's outcome? Or does it matter if it rendered the trial fundamentally unfair?
