Kimber Ray, Petitioner v. Megan Draeger, Respondent

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that the district court abused its discretion by excluding evidence of the expert witness’s substantial connection to the insurance industry, which is admissible to show bias under Rule 411 and Rule 403, but found the error harmless because the jury heard sufficient evidence of that connection. Accordingly, the Court reversed the superior court’s remand order and reinstated the district court’s judgment.
