A man convicted eight years ago of killing the first missing child featured on a milk carton in 1979 must be retried by next June or be released, a federal judge said Friday, according to reports.
Pedro Hernandez was convicted in 2017 of kidnapping and murdering Etan Patz, 6, who was on the way to his bus stop and sentenced to 25 years to life, but last July the sentence was overturned.
On Thursday, New York Judge Colleen McMahon of Manhattan’s federal district court ruled that Hernandez must receive a third trial by June 1, or he’ll need to be released.
Hernandez first trial ended in a hung jury.
