   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1701
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - products liability. District court did not abuse its discretion
   by admitting evidence of two jury verdicts favorable to defendant in cases
   involving substantially similar accidents; exclusion of other incidents
   involving defendant's balers was proper as the other incidents were not
   substantially similar to plaintiff's accident, and their slight probative
   value was outweighed by the danger of confusing the jury; evidence
   concerning proximity of pinch point where plaintiff's arm was caught to
   the baler's tire was properly excluded as the accident did not involve
   plaintiff standing on the tire; admission of evidence concerning the
   number of balers manufactured was not plain error; exclusion of pictures
   and video of newer model balers was not error; testimony about the
   Engineering Code of Ethics was properly excluded as irrelevant since the
   code has no legal force or effect.
