Prosecutors announced plans to potentially appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to restore Pedro Hernandez's murder conviction related to the 1979 disappearance of Etan Patz. A federal appeals court had overturned Hernandez's conviction, ordering his release unless retried. Prosecutors described the case as infamous and expressed concern over the appellate court’s decision. Hernandez's defense stated they would oppose the request for the case to be delayed while prosecutors consider an appeal. Hernandez is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence after being tried twice for the crime.
