Anthony Vetri v. United States
1. To show a violation of the right to conflict-free counsel when represented by multiple attorneys, only some of whom are conflicted, must a defendant show actual prejudice under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), or does the presumption of prejudice set forth in Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335 (1980), apply?
2. Where trial counsel completely misunderstood how to present a withdrawal defense and failed to present affirmative acts of withdrawal as required by Smith v. United States, 568 U.S. 106 (2013), should his conduct have been analyzed under the standard in United States v. Cronic, 466 U.S. 648 (1984), instead of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984)?
Whether a defendant must show actual prejudice or can rely on a presumption of prejudice when some, but not all, attorneys in a multi-attorney representation are conflicted, and whether trial counsel's failure to properly present a withdrawal defense should be analyzed under Cronic or Strickland
