Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the "actual innocence" exception/gateway in McQuiggin v. Perkins, 569 U.S. 383 (2013) require new evidence of innocence when there has never been a trial or a plea of guilty?

Is the "presumption of innocence" equivalent to "actual innocence" when there has been no trial and no guilty plea?

Should a Certificate of Appealability issue under Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2003) so this issue may be briefed on the merits?
