Before Judges PARRILLO, ALVAREZ and SKILLMAN.


The opinion of the court was delivered by

PARRILLO, P.J.A.D.

We granted the State's motion for leave to appeal to decide whether the forfeiture by wrongdoing exception to the hearsay rule, N.J.R.E. 804(b)(9), applies retroactively to wrongdoing that occurred before the new rule's effective date. We conclude that it does and that such application does not constitute an ex post facto violation.
