Kimberly Hanzlik released from prison after Bronx murder conviction overturned

Kimberly Hanzlik, 59, was released from prison after a Bronx judge overturned her 2011 murder conviction. She spent nearly 14 years behind bars for a crime linked to a shooting that occurred in 1999, which new evidence showed she did not commit. The judge vacated Hanzlik's sentence after the reliability of evidence tying her to the murder was questioned. Prosecutors revealed that the intended target was not present during the shooting, and the actual victim was shot by mistake. Hanzlik's lawyer, Irving Cohen, worked pro bono for seven years to secure her release. He plans to seek compensation from the state for her wrongful imprisonment. Hanzlik is now looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with her family.
