Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the standard for ineffective assistance of counsel has been met when court-appointed trial counsel admits that she failed to confer with the client about potential plea bargains before a plea hearing where the defendant was kept in solitary confinement, and the district court did not allow the court security officer to testify about the accuracy of the log sheets that showed the defendant was absent from court during a grand jury session
