A court ruled on Monday Pedro Hernandez should either be set free or re-tried. Although he had confessed to the 1979 murder of Patz, he had a documented history of mental illness and delusions. An appeals board found the judge had given the jury incorrect instructions during deliberations and threw the conviction out. He may face court again, but the ruling brings back into focus the man who was originally the main suspect in Patz’ disappearance for decades – Jose Antonio Ramos.
