Brownsville man convicted of killing woman found dead in a Williamsburg hotel
A man from Brooklyn could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison at sentencing after he was convicted of second-degree murder of the 2015 death of a 34-year-old mother from Staten Island.
Joseph Danclair, a 39-year-old from Brownsville, was arrested after the Staten Island mother of four was found dead in a hotel in East Williamsburg. He was convicted following a jury trial in front of Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dineen Riviezzo.
“This defendant befriended a vulnerable woman and then heartlessly and violently ended her life, leaving her friends and family, including her four children, heartbroken,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. “Such violence will not be tolerated in Brooklyn. Hopefully, today’s verdict brings some comfort to those suffering from this tremendous loss.”
