Convicted killer seeks exoneration in Brooklyn rabbi's murder

nydailynews.com

Carl Miller, convicted of murdering Rabbi David Okunov in 1979, is seeking to clear his name nearly 46 years later. He claims he was not in Brooklyn at the time of the murder and insists he is innocent. Miller's lawyer argues that the case relied heavily on the inconsistent testimony of a witness, Darryl Brown, who initially was a suspect. Court documents state that Miller was not identified in lineups and that evidence was not disclosed during the trial. The Brooklyn District Attorney's office maintains that Miller's conviction should remain, citing previous reviews of the case. A hearing has been ordered, but a decision on Miller's motion to vacate his conviction is still pending.
