2014We must conclude that the admission of this testimony was an abuse of discretion by the District Court. ¶20 The State argues the error was not reversible, and § 46-20-701(1), MCA, provides that a cause “may not be reversed by reason of any error committed by the trial court against the convicted person unless the record shows that the error was prejudicial.” We held in State v. Gray, 207 Mont. 261, 268 , 673 P.2d 1262, 1266 (1983), that an error requires reversal if a reasonable possibility exists that the inadmissible evidence might have contributed to a conviction.
