Statement from Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg on SCOTUS Summary Reversal:

"Today the Supreme Court agreed with the findings of multiple lower courts and upheld the trial conviction of Pedro Hernandez for the horrific murder of Etan Patz, which changed a generation of New Yorkers. This office has remained steadfast in its pursuit of justice for Etan and the Patz family and will continue to stand by this important conviction. I thank the prosecutors in my office, especially our Appellate attorneys, for their dedication and perseverance."
