Judge Vacates Conviction of Kimberly Hanzlik for Role in 1999 Bronx Murder of Joseph Brown Amid New Evidence

Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced on Tuesday, Nov. 26, that she joined a request to vacate the conviction and dismiss charges against Kimberly Hanzlik in the 1999 fatal shooting of Joseph Brown in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, after a review of the case by the DA’s Conviction Integrity Bureau (CIB) yielded new evidence that Hanzlik’s conviction was based on an unreliable identification of her as it pertained to the incident.
