Text: The trial court's evidentiary rulings are presumed correct. Opp v. Nieuwsma, 458 N.W.2d 352, 357 (S.D.1990). The party claiming error must show a clear abuse of discretion, Zepp v. Hofmann, 444 N.W.2d 28, 31 (S.D.1989), and prejudicial error, Shamburger v. Behrens, 380 N.W.2d 659, 661 (S.D. 1986). The trial court properly exercised discretion if a judicial mind could reasonably have reached the conclusion the trial court reached. Dacy v. Gors, 471 N.W.2d 576, 580 (S.D.1991).
