for any PCRA hearing whatsoever. The PCRA court denied this request in its opinion, dated April 6, 1998, stating: There is no legal basis for this court to accept the record of the federal habeas corpus hearing as the record of this PCRA proceeding.... The federal record would not remove the need for a PCRA hearing under Pa.R.Crim.P. 1508. It appears that the Commonwealth might not have presented a full defense on the merits in light of its legal argument on nonexhaustion. Finally a resolution of the many issues of fact raised in the pleadings require[s] the kind of credibility assessments that only a hearing can provide. (See PCRA Court Opinion, dated April 6, 1998, at 21). 10 . Only a few other jurisdictions have considered this issue. See Seals v. State, 23 S.W.3d 272 (Tenn.2000) (<HOLDING>); Cochran v. State, 133 Idaho 205, 984 P.2d 128
