How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel does not save an otherwise untimely petition for review on the merits
• reiterating that a petitioner seeking review of untimely PCRA claims must establish the PCRA court’s jurisdiction “by pleading and proving an exception to the PCRA’s timeliness requirement”
• “[A] conclusion that previous counsel was ineffective is not a newly discovered ‘fact’ entitling Appellant to the benefit of the exception for newly- discovered facts.” (cleaned up)
• emphasizing the PCRA court’s “exclusive prerogative to make credibility determinations”
• following Commonwealth v. Gamboa–Taylor, 753 A.2d 780, 785 (Pa. 2000)
