Holding

The court held that the trial court committed prejudicial error by improperly restricting the cross-examination of a key witness on a matter directly responsive to his testimony in chief, thereby depriving the jury of information critical to assessing the witness's credibility and the weight of his opinion on the testatrix’s mental capacity.
