How later courts describe this case

  • holding that, irrespective of waiver, defense attorney who had accepted a position with the prosecution to commence immediately after trial labored under a potential and not an actual conflict of interest
  • The mere fact of defense counsel’s future employment with the district attorney’s office did not create an actual conflict.
  • "It is not logically necessary that the approach of these [multiple representation] cases also apply to conflicts between a defendant's and the attorney's own personal interests"
