Judge Declines to Dismiss Case in 1979 Disappearance of Etan Patz, Setting Up Third Trial

Judge Declines to Dismiss Case in 1979 Disappearance of Etan Patz, Setting Up Third Trial

A New York judge has decided not to dismiss charges against Pedro Hernandez, who is accused of abducting and killing 6-year-old Etan Patz in 1979. This decision paves the way for a third trial. Hernandez, a former shop clerk, has been in custody since his arrest in 2012. The case gained national attention as Etan was one of the first missing children to be featured on milk cartons. The judge rejected arguments from Hernandez's lawyers that the delay in charging him and extensive media coverage would prevent a fair trial. Hernandez's previous trials ended in a deadlock and a conviction that was later overturned by a federal appeals court.

Trump Administration Resumes Funding for Manhattan Subway Project After Lawsuit

The Trump administration has agreed to resume funding for the Second Avenue subway project in Manhattan following a lawsuit by New York officials. The U.S. Department of Transportation announced that it has completed its review of the project and will begin reimbursing state transit officials for construction costs. The project aims to extend subway service to parts of Harlem, with new stations being built along Manhattan's Upper East Side. The USDOT had previously withheld approximately $60 million from the project, citing concerns over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles, which it argued were unconstitutional and led to increased costs. The reversal of funding comes after a federal judge ordered the resumption of payments for another major transportation project, the Hudson River rail tunnel, which had also been halted by the administration.
