him to relief). Although trial counsel requested that the victim undergo a psychological evaluation, counsel did not present expert testimony regarding a child's supposed inability to recall certain events before age five, particularly sexual events. Such testimony, if credible, could have impacted the verdict in a way that cross-examination or other impeachment could not, and therefore the district court was too quick to dismiss this claim without conducting an evidentiary hearing. We therefore ORDER the judgment of the district court REVERSED AND REMAND this matter to the district court for proceedings consistent with this order.
