MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Taylor v. Curry, 708 F.2d 886 (2nd Cir. 1983):
6 Our task is to determine whether the exclusion of evidence was an error of constitutional dimension, not the more narrow inquiry whether a constitutional error has been shown to have been harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 22-24, 87 S.Ct. 824, 827-28, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967).
