919 F.2d 1543 (1990)

James McCONICO, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. STATE OF ALABAMA, John E. Nagle, Respondents-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

December 27, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David R. Arendall, Arendall & O'Kelley, Birmingham, Ala., for petitioner-appellant.

Beth Jackson Hughes, Asst. Atty. Gen., Montgomery, Ala., for respondents-appellees.

Before POWELL, Associate Justice, TJOFLAT, Chief Judge, and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge.

KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:

A defendant's lawyer, laboring under a conflict of interest, may deprive a defendant of the sixth amendment right to counsel during a criminal trial. The United States Supreme Court has stated that counsel is constitutionally ineffective if: 1) counsel faced an actual conflict of interest, and 2) that conflict "adversely affected" counsel's representation of the defendant. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668
