“"When the State fails to file an answer or return denying the allegations of fact in a petition, then the facts as set out in the petition must be taken as true. Ex parte State (Re: Williams v. State) , 461 So.2d 1339 , 1340 (Ala. 1984) (Torbert, C.J., concurring specially); Hall v. State , 495 So.2d 717 (Ala.Cr.App. 1986). `[T]he unrefuted facts set out by the petitioner must be taken as true.' Ex parte Floyd , 457 So.2d 961 , 962 (Ala. 1984). If the *Page 706 allegations are true, the petitioner may be entitled to relief; he certainly is entitled to a hearing on the merits. Graves v. State , 496 So.2d 94 (Ala.Cr.App. 1985); Kennedy v. State , 409 So.2d 1010 (Ala.Cr.App. 1982); Ellison v. State , 406 So.2d 439 (Ala.Cr.App. 1981)."”
