Supreme Court Reinstates Murder Conviction in 1979 Disappearance of Etan Patz
by CBS News June 22, 2026 The Supreme Court on Monday reinstated a murder conviction in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz, whose case shocked New York City and changed the way parents watched over their kids. The justices, by a 6-3 vote, granted an appeal from New York prosecutors who had urged them to undo a federal appeals court decision that overturned the verdict. The three liberal justices dissented. Prosecutors had been preparing to try the man, Pedro Hernandez, for a third time. His first trial ended in a mistrial. Hernandez, 64, has been serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Monday's decision means he will continue to serve his sentence at the Elmira Correctional Facility in New York. He will be eligible for parole in 2037. Attorneys for Hernandez said, "We are firmly disappointed with the decision because we firmly believe that an innocent man is in jail for a crime he did not do." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...dro-hernandez/ |
