2021First, County Court properly precluded testimony at the first trial from individuals who overheard a conversation in which a man worried that he had left a knife with his fingerprints on it at the scene of the brawl, which would have only been relevant to establish the truth of the out-of-court statements and was therefore inadmissible hearsay to which the state of mind exception did not apply ( see People v Reynoso , 73 NY2d 816, 819 [1988]; People v Kachadourian , 184 AD3d 1021, 1023 [2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 1113 [2020]; People v Ramsaran , 154 AD3d 1051, 1053 [2017], lv denied 30 NY3d 1063

1999In doing so, our Court would align itself with only one other appellate court in this country in this century in narrowly restricting the state of mind exception to prove solitary acts of the declarant in criminal cases (see, Clark v United States, 412 A2d 21 [DC Ct App]). 3 Jurisdiction after jurisdiction of State and Federal courts have determined to follow the lead of Hillmon and Hunter in admitting against criminal defendants (upon establishment of an appropriate foundation) the statements of a declarant’s intention to perform acts entailing the participation jointly or cooperatively of th

1987After carefully weighing the major arguments raised in opposition to extension of the evidentiary exception to such facts, this court joined the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions in upholding the admissibility of such evidence due to its high degree of trustwor thiness and its necessity, given the lack of alternative or more reliable evidence.

2006(Hillmon, 145 US at 294-295 .) More recently, the Ninth Circuit elaborated on the Hillmon doctrine as a state of mind exception that “provides that when the performance of a particular act by an individual is an issue in a case, his intention (state of mind) to perform that act may be shown.
