ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - A new trial has been ordered for a Newfoundland man who was convicted of drowning his twin daughters in a lake a decade ago.
Nelson Hart was found guilty in March 2007 of first-degree murder in the deaths of his three-year-old daughters Karen and Krista.
Hart appealed and the province's Court of Appeal issued a ruling today ordering a new trial.
The court says Hart should've been allowed to testify at his trial with the public excluded from the courtroom because he has difficulty thinking clearly while under stress in front of a large number of people.
The court also ruled that Hart's confession during an undercover RCMP sting should not have been admitted as evidence because it amounted to coercion.
