“Failure to hear Hull’s claims would not fall within the “fundamental miscarriage of justice” exception to the procedural default rule. That exception “is concerned with actual as compared to legal innocence,” Sawyer v. Whitley, 505 U.S. 333, 338 , 112 S.Ct. 2514, 2519 , 120 L.Ed.2d 269 (1992). Where, as here, Hull has no colorable claim that he did not commit the murder for which he was convicted, he cannot satisfy this exception.”

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Hull's mental deficiencies, combined with post- conviction counsel's failure to file the appeal and failure to notify Hull until after the deadline passed, create a colorable claim for waiver [of the procedural default] under Pennsylvania law.”
