1Opinion of the Court

WALSH, Justice:

This is an appeal from the Superior Court’s denial of a motion seeking postcon-viction relief. Although the Superior Court expanded the record to include affidavits of various persons and a videotaped interview, the appellant contends that the court erred in its failure to afford him an evidentiary hearing on two of his postcon-viction claims. We find that an evidentia-ry hearing in this case is not procedurally barred and would further the interest of justice.
