‘‘[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
