Answer 1

The correct answer is:C. Lafler v. Cooper (2012)In Lafler v. Cooper, the U.S. Supreme Court held that if not for the ineffective assistance of counsel, there is a reasonable probability that the plea offer would have been accepted by the defendant and presented to the court, resulting in a conviction or sentence less severe than the one actually imposed after trial. This case emphasizes the importance of competent legal advice during the plea bargaining process.
