• State bears burden to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that error did not affect verdict
• “The State may not employ a trial strategy of introducing evidence which itself 11 creates the necessity for admitting bad acts evidence.”
• “In determining whether an error was harmless, we ask not whether the evidence, apart from that erroneously admitted, would support a finding of guilt, but whether it can be said beyond a reasonable doubt that the inadmissible evidence did not affect the verdict.” (quotation omitted)
