condition recently perceived by the declarant, made in good faith, not in contem- plation of pending or anticipated litigation in which he was interested, and while his recollection was clear; (6) Other Exceptions. — A statement not specifically covered by any of the foregoing exceptions but having equivalent circumstantial guarantees of trustwor- thiness, if the court determines that (A) the statement is offered as evidence of a material fact; (B) the statement is more probative on the point for which it is offered than any other evidence which the proponent can procure through reasonable efforts; and (C) the general purposes of these rules and the interests of justice will best be served by admission of the statement into evidence. However, a statement may not be admitted under this exception unless the proponent of it makes known to the adverse party sufficiently in advance of the trial or hearing to provide the adverse party with a fair opportunity to prepare to meet it, his intention to offer the statement and the particulars of it, including the name and address of the declarant. (7) Forfeiture by wrongdoing. — A statement offered against a party that has engaged or acquiesced in wrongdoing that was intended to, and did, procure the unavailability of the declarant as a witness. The proponent shall give pretrial notice of intent to use such evidence, similar to notice required by W.R.E. 404(b). (Amended October 14, 2008, effective January 1, 2009.)
