Text: Anderson also assigns that the district court erred in overruling his objections to testimony regarding the blood alcohol test, a test he contends was not performed in accordance with the standards and procedures required by law. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the court did err, we conclude that such error was harmless. Erroneous admission of evidence is harmless error and does not require reversal if the evidence is cumulative and other relevant evidence, properly admitted, supports the finding by the trier of fact. State v. Cook, 266 Neb. 465, 667 N.W.2d 201 (2003). In addition to the results of the blood alcohol test, the record also contains evidence that a chemical breath test was performed on Anderson, revealing a breath alcohol content in excess of the legal limit. Anderson has not taken exception to the chemical breath test results. That evidence supports the finding by the jury that Anderson was in violation of § 60-6,196 at the time of the accident, rendering this assignment of error meritless.
