OPINION

In two separate cases,*fn1 Tracy Franklin appeals and argues that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to conduct evidentiary hearings on his writs of habeas corpus. Franklin asserts that the trial court improperly stated and misapplied the standard for evaluating the evidence that Franklin used to support his applications for writs of habeas corpus. Franklin asserts in his applications that he is innocent of the two crimes for which he had been convicted. We reverse, remand the two cases to the trial court, and instruct the trial court to conduct evidentiary hearings on Franklin‟s claims of innocence.
