““ ‘It was not incumbent upon the state to prove that it could not have been tampered with. It was not necessary that all possibility of its having been tampered -with should be excluded by affirmative testimony. [Citation omitted.] It was only necessary to identify the package, and to make prima facie showing that there had been no substantial change in it to warrant its introduction into evidence.’ ” Nelson, 178 Mont. at 288 , 583 P.2d at 439 .”
