Brooklyn judge reverses conviction, freeing man in 1991 Bed-Stuy killing
After a woman was found dead, naked, beaten and dragged into a cross-like position in a Bedford-Stuyvesant park, the friend with whom she left her apartment that night was convicted of murder.
But a quarter century later, Andre Hatchett has been freed from prison and his conviction overturned Thursday after prosecutors and defense lawyers said a review of his case had found too many problems for it to stand.
