Court orders new trial in Wells shooting over dream testimony

Iowa Court of Appeals overturns Royal Nate Wells conviction for a 1986 Des Moines convenience store shooting. The ruling bars a witness who described a dream identifying Wells as the shooter, saying the dream testimony was prejudicial and not reliably linked to memory. A new trial is ordered, though one judge dissented urging weight of other evidence.
