Supreme Court reinstates decades‑old Etan Patz murder conviction
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, reinstated Pedro Hernandez’s conviction for the 1979 kidnapping and murder of 6-year-old Etan Patz, ruling the Second Circuit erred in overturning the verdict; Hernandez had confessed multiple times, though he later argued those statements were obtained improperly, a ruling that preserves a decades-long high-profile case.
