• ‘‘[t]he brief [three day] gap between the termination of the first wiretap order and the issuance of the second does not prevent the latter from being an extension of the former"
• strategic decisions generally do not form a basis for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim
• to prevail, a defendant must establish that a miscarriage of justice will occur
• burden of showing substantial prejudice amounting to a “miscarriage of justice”
• questioning by defense counsel “opened the door” to damaging evidence
