Man Convicted of Murdering Etan Patz in 1979

from Reuters:

A New York City jury on Tuesday found a former delicatessen worker guilty of murdering Etan Patz, a six-year-old boy whose disappearance in 1979 raised national awareness of the plight of abducted children and their parents.

The conviction of Pedro Hernandez, 56, came during his second trial in state court. It followed a 2015 mistrial that occurred after a single juror refused to go along with 11 other panelists who were convinced of his guilt.

The boy vanished as he walked alone to a school bus stop in the city’s SoHo neighborhood on May 25, 1979 and for decades was one of New York’s most infamous unsolved mysteries.

    Yes, the illigal alien low life blabbered about it to his “friends” then when questions by cops he admitted his actions. He lured the little kid into the bodega he was working in with some candy. He abused the boy and killed him then dumped his little body into the garbage. The body has not been recovered.
    Now its high time for justice (i.e. electric chair).

    This is a dangerous conviction. There was no evidence except the so-called confession of a mentally unbalanced person.
