Pedro Hernandez, a former Catholic school janitor, is set to face a retrial in the highly publicized murder case of 6-year-old Etan Patz, who disappeared in 1979. The case has garnered significant attention over the years, with Hernandez first being convicted in 2014, only to have the conviction overturned in 2017 due to a mistrial. Now, with a new trial looming, many are wondering if justice will finally be served for Etan's family. A court deadline to retry Hernandez expired on June 1st, but it appears the proceedings have yet to begin. Will a new verdict be reached, or will Hernandez walk free? The outcome remains uncertain, leaving many eagerly awaiting the latest developments in this decades-long case.
Does anyone know if the Pedro Hernandez retrial started? I'm not finding much online about it. Barely anything posted since the fall. I found a couple posts from months back that it was supposed to start June 1st which was just about the deadline they were given to either retry him or cut him loose. submitted by /u/bensonr2 [link] [comments]
