2021In 2002, however, our Court in Commonwealth v. Grant, 813 A.2d 726 (Pa. 2002), significantly restructured review of ineffective assistance of counsel claims by rejecting the long-standing Hubbard rule that claims of ineffectiveness had to be raised at the first opportunity, even if that was on direct appeal and the issue had not been presented to the trial court.

Dancer, 460 Pa. 95 , 331 A.2d 435 (1975).

2012Following review of the parties' briefs and the hearing testimony, the PCRA court apparently did not find an additional hearing was necessary, as it denied all of Keaton's guilt phase claims, only awarding relief on his penalty phase mitigation claim.

[5] Commonwealth v. Grant, 572 Pa. 48 , 813 A.2d 726 (2002), abrogated Hubbard's rule that ineffectiveness claims based on trial counsel's performance must be raised
