Description

We review Grosvenor v. State, 816 So. 2d 822 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002), which certified conflict with Cousino v. State, 770 So. 2d 1258 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), and Mason v. State, 742 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. This case involves a defendant seeking to vacate a guilty plea because of ineffective assistance of counsel in failing to advise of a possible defense. We must decide whether, in asserting prejudice, defendants must allege that the defense would have succeeded at trial. For the reasons stated below, we hold they do not.
