Andre Bown was convicted of attempted murder in a 1999 case and sentenced to 40 years in prison. In 2022, Brown’s conviction was overturned on a technicality and he was released after serving 23 years.<\/p>\n
Last year, a judge reinstated Brown’s conviction, which put the father and husband at risk of going back to prison.<\/p>\n
Brown was resentenced Monday to time served, which allows him to go home to his family and put the case behind him.<\/p>\n
“What happened today freed my soul,” said Brown. “It has been a journey that we were tried and tested and battle scarred, but we are looking to win the war now.”<\/p>\n
Brown has maintained his innocence, despite his attempted murder conviction in a case where two teen boys were shot. His attorneys say they will now fight to have that conviction vacated.<\/p>\n
“We are going to continue to look for legal avenues that are available to him to finally and fully exonerate him and vindicate him,” said Oscar Michelen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andre Bown was convicted of attempted murder in a 1999 case and sentenced to 40 years in prison.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[1271,128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-57792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-attempted-murder","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
