Bocci v. Key Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , 158 Or. App. 521 ( 1999 )

EDMONDS, J.,

dissenting.

I disagree with Landau, J., that the trial court should have dismissed Edwards from the case and should have admitted the redacted agreement into evidence. However, I agree with him that the trial court should have permitted cross-examination of Edwards concerning the nature of the agreement, so that the jury could understand the extent of Edwards’s bias and interest. That error substantially prejudiced Key, in my view, and justifies reversal. For that reason, I dissent.
