Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript filed on March 22, 2022. In it, an attorney argues to a judge that an opposing counsel's failure to investigate a matter was not a strategic choice to "sandbag" the court, but rather a result of incompetence, described as being "careless" and "inept." The speaker references a standard from the Second Circuit and the judge's own prior findings to argue that the other counsel "dropped the ball."

1 themselves we could just tell the judge.
2 Strickland talks about counsel has a duty to make
3 reasonable investigations or make a reasonable decision that
4 makes particular investigation unnecessary. And if ever there
5 was a reason either to investigate more, to unleash the
6 Nardello firm, or, I say this respectfully, unleash the Court.
7 Because as crazy as this woman was, I've always thought if your
8 Honor brought her out and said are you the same person, I'm not
9 sure her lying would have gone that far. You may disagree with
10 me on that, but I think she would have had trouble here.
11 But nobody does it. And nobody does it not because
12 they were playing a strategic game that they were out to
13 sandbag a court or they were out to get an acquittal. They
14 didn't do it because, to use the Second Circuit's word, it was
15 an oversight, it was careless, it was inept. And if I'm right
16 about that, then I think one has met the first prong here, and
17 then the question becomes prejudice.

19 doesn't argue sandbagging. I can talk more about why I think
20 this wasn't -- look, I've read the Court's opinion, I think
21 only seven times. And I know that the Court at the end of it

24 on in that court. I think your Honor's findings are that these
