Denial of a motion for postconviction relief from a conviction for burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery, kidnapping, sexual battery, and related counts is reversed and remanded for an evidentiary hearing where a claim that defendant's trial counsel was ineffective for failing to have evidence examined by an expert was facially sufficient.
