Pedro Hernandez Trial
Sep 12, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT
Jury selection is scheduled to begin today or tomorrow in the retrial of this decades-old murder case. Hernandez was arrested in 2012 for the May 25, 1979 murder of 6-year-old Etan Patz. He was tried in 2015 but the jury deadlocked 11-1 for conviction. Hernandez confessed to the murder but has recanted the confession. He faces 25 years to life, if convicted, of second-degree murder.
