“"[A petition for post-conviction relief] is not some 'probable cause' hearing at which the trial judge determines whether the petitioner/defendant should be accorded a new trial so that the trier of fact will have the benefit of the additional testimony. "To the contrary, these decisions clearly show that the trial judge must 'believe' the testimony and that the burden on petitioner is to submit clear, full and satisfactory proof of his assertions for relief." Seibert v. State , 343 So.2d 788 , 790 Ala. 1977 . (Emphasis in original.)”
