““ ‘for an error to be harmful, there must be a reasonable possibility that in the absence of error the verdict might have been more favorable [to the losing party].’ ” Herman v. Speed King Manufacturing Company, [Wyo.,] 675 P.2d [1271,] 1278 [(1984)], quoting ABC Builders, Inc. v. Phillips, Wyo., 632 P.2d 925, 935 (1981). Evidentiary rulings are largely within the discretion of the trial court. In order to determine the harmful effect of such rulings, we have examined them in the context of all the evidence at trial. In the present case, our review does not support appellant’s claim of prejudice.”
