Is there any case law where a trial judge abused his position in excluding or excluding the evidence?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Flynn, 216 F.2d 354 (2nd Cir. 1954):

There remains the question of whether the trial Judge abused his discretion in nevertheless not excluding the evidence. We think not. While the episode to be sure was an unsavory one there is no blinking the fact that this was one of the prime reasons for its relevance on the issues to which it was directed. The situation here is quite unlike United States v. Krulewitch, 2 Cir., 1944, 145 F.2d 76, 156 A.L.R. 337 where a part of the evidence complained of had insignificant probative value on the issues to be resolved.
