Rule 4. Effect of erroneous admission of evidence

A ruling admitting evidence shall not be set aside, nor shall a judgment or other ruling be reversed as a result of the erroneous admission of evidence unless:

(1) The evidence was erroneously admitted in spite of the timely and correct objection of the party prejudiced by the admission, and

(2) the court passing upon the effect of the erroneous admission is of the opinion that it was a decisive or substantial element of the judgment or ruling whose reversal is sought.
