3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Our courts have long held that evidence of threats made by a defendant to induce a witness not to testify is admissible because it illuminates the declarant's consciousness of guilt. See, e.g., State v. Johnson, 216 N.J.Super. 588, 611 [ 524 A. 2d 826 ] (App.Div.1987) (no error by the prosecutor in attempting to establish that the witness was intimidated by defendant while both were incarcerated); State v. Hill, 47 N.J. 490, 500 [ 221 A. 2d 725 ] (1966) (testimony that after trial began defendant accosted witness and threatened to kill him if witness took stand was admissible); State v. Lassiter, 197 N.J.Super. 2, 8 [ 484 A. 2d 13 ] (App. Div.1984) (witness allowed to testify that he had been shot three days before defendant's case was scheduled for trial); State v. Plowden, 126 N.J.Super. 228, 231 [ 313 A. 2d 802 ] (App.Div.) (testimony that after shooting, defendant said he would kill anyone who identified him), certif. denied, 64 N.J. 504 [ 317 A. 2d 717 ] (1974). See also State v. Rivera, 232 N.J.Super. 165, 174 [ 556 A. 2d 1227 ] (App.Div.) (defendant's attempt to marry girlfriend admissible as evidence of consciousness of guilt), certif. denied, 117 N.J. 169 [ 564 A. 2d 885 ] (1989). [ Id. at 364-65, 635 A. 2d 562 .]”
