“" ' "In some cases, recollection of the events at issue by the judge who presided at the original conviction may enable him summarily to dismiss a motion for postconviction relief." Little v. State , 426 So.2d 527 , 529 (Ala.Cr.App. 1983). "If the circuit judge has personal knowledge of the actual facts underlying the allegations in the petition, he may deny the petition without further proceedings so long as he states the reasons for the denial in a written order." Sheats v. State , 556 So.2d 1094 , 1095 (Ala.Cr.App. 1989).' " Norris v. State , 579 So.2d 34 , 35 (Ala.Cr.App. 1991) (Bowen, J., dissenting).
