recognizing that although the Commonwealth prevailed in the lower court, it was aggrieved by the burden imposed therein
holding that Pennsylvania law makes clear that no court has jurisdiction to hear an untimely PCRA petition
holding that where the “petition at issue … was untimely and did not fall within any of the three exceptions to the time-bar, both the PCRA court and the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction”
stating that the PCRA “provides the exclusive vehicle for obtaining state collateral relief on claims which are cognizable under the PCRA.”
concluding PCRA decision became final when trial court decided petition and Superior Court dismissed appeal
holding the timeliness of a PCRA petition is a “threshold question implicating [the court’s] subject matter jurisdiction”
