Supreme Court of Oklahoma

1Opinion of the Court

LAVENDER, Justice.

¶ 1 The primary question before us is whether the district court’s decision — to incorporate an exhibit by reference into Lorita J. Sneed’s [Sneed or deceased] earlier-admit*1114ted last will and testament — is against the clear weight of the evidence. Also at issue is whether Donna Kay Hall [Hall, contestant or appellant] is entitled to a new hearing to decide whether Michael Jestes1 [Jestes, proponent or personal representative] unduly influenced Sneed in the making of the incorporated exhibit.
