Supreme Court of Oklahoma July 1, 1997, 81356, 81655 (Cary by and Through Cary v. Oneok, Inc.)

SUMMERS, Vice Chief Justice.

¶ 1 The question is whether it was error to exclude a badly burned child from a portion of his damage suit trial because of his physical appearance. We hold that it was, and reverse.

¶ 2 Eric Cary is a boy who was severely burned when the water heater in the garage of his home exploded.
