In an application for a writ of error coram nobis should it be denied based on an unintentional time delay (where laches was not an issue) and the delay allowed to prevail over fairness and equity in a claim of actual innocence - where the time delay was harmless?

In the more than 60 years since the Morgan decision, ambiguity has arisen as to the scope of the writ and circuits have issued varying guidelines as to the proper application. Should a consistent and equitable approach be delineated by the Court?
