Man convicted in infamous 1979 Etan Patz murder could get new trial
A federal appeals court determined the man convicted in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz should get a new trial or be released from custody in the interim. Pedro Hernandez was sentenced in 2017 to 25 years in prison after confessing to kidnapping and killing Patz in New York City, in what is one of the nation's most notorious child disappearance cases. The decision comes in response to Hernandez's appeal, in which he alleges a jury note was improperly handled during his trial and "prejudiced the verdict." In the July 21 decision from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the judge said the state trial court contradicted federal law and ordered Hernandez be released, unless the state goes forward with a retrial in what they determine to be a "reasonable period" of time. Patz went missing on his way to a school bus stop in his Soho neighborhood in May 1979. The widely publicized case was a lightning rod for law enforcement practices nationwide, and he was one of the first missing children ever to appear on a milk carton. Hernandez was a clerk at a store in Patz's neighborhood, and became a suspect decades after the first-grader disappeared, in 2012. Renewed interest in what had become a cold case prompted a relative to tell police Hernandez told a prayer group decades earlier that he'd killed a child. Hernandez's first trial in 2015 ended in a hung jury, while his second trial in 2017 ended with a conviction on charges of murder and kidnapping. The case helped establish National Missing Children's Day on May 25th, and for the creation of a national hotline for missing children. Patz's body has never been recovered, and was legally declared dead in 2001. Kathryn Palmer is a national trending news reporter for USA TODAY. You can reach her at kapalmer@ and on X @KathrynPlmr.

House won't vote on Jeffrey Epstein resolution before August recess, Johnson says
Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson said there will not be a vote before Congress' August recess on a resolution that calls on the Trump administration to release more files related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing, and if further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we'll look at that," the Louisiana Republican told reporters Monday. "But I don't think we're at that point right now because we agree with the president." The White House spent the last week dealing with the fallout from a Justice Department review that concluded Epstein had no "client list" and died by suicide while in federal custody in 2019 as he was facing sex trafficking charges. In an effort to alleviate the pressure from some of Mr. Trump's most fervent supporters, which Democrats have sought to capitalize on, House Republicans last week offered a resolution that carries no legal weight to make the Epstein files public. "This resolution they're offering is a cover vote and I'll be surprised if they even bring it to the floor," Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts said during a House Rules Committee meeting last week. As the committee debated the release of the files, Mr. Trump ordered the Justice Department to produce "any and all pertinent grand jury testimony, subject to court approval." The request also came after the Wall Street Journal published a letter Mr. Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein for his birthday in 2003, which the president called "fake." Mr. Trump sued the Journal and its parent company for defamation over the story. The Justice Department on Friday formally asked a federal judge to unseal transcripts from grand jury proceedings. There's a separate effort led by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky to force a vote on a bipartisan measure that would compel the Justice Department to release Epstein-related files within 30 days. On Monday, Massie pressed Johnson on holding a vote on his legislation before Congress' month-long break. "We should not punt this until after the 5 week recess, nor should we wait for my discharge petition to ripen and collect the required signatures to force the vote," Massie wrote. Massie needs 218 signatures on his petition to force a vote once Congress returns after Labor Day. Johnson called the endeavor "a political game that Democrats are playing, and I hope Republicans don't join it." He also reiterated that there's "no daylight" between the White House and House Republicans on wanting more transparency. "We want maximum disclosure," he said.
