COURTHOUSE,
Oct 14 – When will Pedro
Hernandez be retried for the
1979 kidnapping and murder of
Etan Patz? Will he be
re-tried?
These questions
were the subject of a hearing
on October 14 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Colleen McMahon. Inner
City Press was there. Thread:
ADA Colangelo
[here as in NY v. Trump for
the Office of DA Bragg]: The
People are not in a position
to says if a retrial is
feasible. We have six people
reaching out to past
witnesses.
Judge: I don't
think I can issue a writ that
doesn't name a drop-dead trial
date
ADA Colangelo:
I'd like one year after
Supreme Court action.
Hernandez's
lawyer [and former AUSA]
Edward Diskant: My client
deserves a fast retrial.
They've had time to figure out
if the new US Attorney wants
to proceed with a retrial. Mr
Hernandez' state court lawyers
are here today NYS case lawyer
Harvey Fishbein:
I am prepared to go the
Administrative Judge today to
be reappointed as 18(b)
counsel, nunc pro tunc.
ADA Collangelo:
We ask for 90 days to say if
we'll retry. Judge: I'l rule
later
