The Supreme Court on Monday restored the conviction of the man found guilty of kidnapping and murdering 6-year-old Etan Patz in a case that captivated the nation nearly 50 years ago.
In a 6-3 decision, the court found that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York erred in overturning the conviction of Pedro Hernandez, who had confessed multiple times to killing Patz before a jury convicted him in 2017.
