NORCOTT, J.
The principal issue in this appeal is whether, in an arson murder trial, testimony by the defendant's former wife about his prior uncharged misconduct, including his burning of their house trailer for insurance money, his statement to her that he previously had committed arson for hire, and his threat to burn down their home, was admissible under § 4-5(b) of the Connecticut Code of Evidence.
