Alabama’s method of handling indigent defense has long been criticized as deeply flawed, particularly in death penalty cases. It underwent some changes in 2011, but judges still handpick defense lawyers, and they are paid only $70 an hour — less than half the federal pay rate for capital defenders and far too low to attract experienced death penalty lawyers, said Lisa Borden, who oversees pro bono programs at the Baker Donelson law firm in Birmingham. In 2011, former judges on the state’s highest courts told the United States Supreme Court that capital defendants in Alabama faced “a lack of qualified counsel at all stages.”

Yeah, and of course the appellate attorney will call anything the trial attorney did malpractice.
Did your client testify? Well, that was malpractice because it allowed the state to bring in your client's 15 prior felonies.
Did your client not testify? Well, that was malpractice because you never let the jury hear their side of the story.
Don't really blame appellate counsel for throwing hail mary's, but it makes the jurisprudence lulzy.
