Judges across the city have dismissed hundreds of cases connected to Joseph Franco.
In the Bronx, the courts have now thrown out a total of 324 cases, following a review by the office of the district attorney’s Conviction Integrity Bureau, which investigates potentially wrongful convictions.
Clark’s office said its Conviction Integrity Unit has now completed its review of cases that hinged on Franco’s statements and does not plan to request any additional dismissals.. Prosecutors accused Franco of lying on police paperwork and in court about drug sales he said he had witnessed. The district attorney’s office said it had uncovered video evidence that showed it would have been impossible for Franco to watch the drug deals he claimed to have seen.
