The US Supreme Court reinstated a murder conviction for 64-year-old Pedro Hernandez in a 6-3 decision. This ruling reverses a previous appeals court decision that had thrown out the conviction related to the 1979 disappearance of six-year-old Etan Patz from New York City. The high court agreed with the request from New York prosecutors to uphold the original verdict in the long-winding case that originally garnered national headlines after the young boy went missing.
