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.

LASD serves search warrant as investigation into deadly explosion continues
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Monday said it served a search warrant in Marina del Rey as it searches for answers after three longtime deputies died in an explosion last week. The warrant was executed in the 13900 Block of Marquesas Way in Marina del Rey. The LASD said the warrant was served to follow "all leads and evidence" into the origins of devices that were found in Santa Monica on Thursday, the night before the fatal blast. The area where the search took place is located on the Marina del Rey Marina and contains apartment buildings and businesses, with hundreds of boats docked around the perimeter on the water. It's not yet clear what buildings were searched, and if anything crucial to the investigation was found. Authorities confirmed that on Thursday night, LASD investigators were called to assist the Santa Monica Police Department with a report of possible explosive materials in the 800 block of Bay Street in Santa Monica. There, detectives recovered items that appeared to be grenades, the department said. On Friday, after the explosion, senior law enforcement officials who were briefed on the investigation told CBS News that the grenades were transported to Biscailuz Training Facility. There, members of the highly skilled and trained Arson Explosives Detail were working to render the grenades safe when the explosion occurred, the officials said. The Sheriff's Department later identified the fallen deputies as detectives Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Victor Lemus and William Osborn. The LASD stopped short of fully connecting the grenades to the fatal explosion on Monday, saying investigators were continuing to "conduct their post-blast investigation and reconstruct the incident scene" before drawing a conclusion. "These investigations take time, and we are committed to conducting a thorough examination to accurately determine the cause," the LASD said in Monday's news release. Monday's search warrant was at least the second served since the explosion. In the hours following the blast, the Santa Monica garage where the grenades were found in was searched, the LASD said. No additional details were immediately made available.

Trump demands end to cashless bail, says 'complete disaster' driving crime in cities, endangering police
President Donald Trump demanded cashless bail end immediately on Monday, citing crime in U.S. cities, as well as increased attacks on law enforcement. "Crime in American Cities started to significantly rise when they went to CASHLESS BAIL. The WORST criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, IMMEDIATELY!" Trump wrote. The post was published as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference in New York City after visiting a Customs and Border Protection officer who was shot while off-duty on Saturday night. The suspect is a previously deported Dominical national, who Noem said has a "rap sheet that is a mile long," has an active warrant against him in Massachusetts for armed robbery with a firearm, and who has been arrested in New York City four separate times. Noem criticized the open border policies under former President Joe Biden, as well as sanctuary polices in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago in particular in the wake of the shooting. "When I look at what Mayor Adams has done to New York City, it breaks my heart to see the families that have suffered because of his policies," Noem said. "We can look across this country at other mayors. We look at Mayor Wu in Boston and what has happened there under her watch, what's happened in LA with the riots and the violence and the protests that have gone on because of Mayor Bass and what she has perpetuated. When you look at Mayor Johnson in Chicago and how devastating it is to live in that city in some of those poorest communities, how they suffer every single day with the violence that's in front of them." New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer, has been a strong critic of the state's cashless bail law, which was enacted by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2019 and perpetuated under his successor, current Gov. Kathy Hochul. Cuomo, while campaigning for mayor, has noted the cashless bail law has faced amendments that increased judicial discretion in recent years, but he has defended criminal justice reform broadly as a correction of racial and income inequities. Adams, who has argued Cuomo-era bail reforms drove up recidivism rates, resulting in offenders repeatedly being arrested and released back on the streets, now faces the former governor in November's mayoral election. Adams and Cuomo are both independent candidates in the contest, where Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani is seen as the front-runner after his June primary win. Mamdani has promoted radical initiatives, such as eliminating all cash bail and abolishing prisons. Under his tenure, Cuomo pushed policies discouraging state agencies from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Adams initially defended New York City's "sanctuary" status, he grew critical of the Biden administration amid surges of illegal immigrants arriving to the Big Apple from the southern border and has more recently cooperated with the Trump administration's border czar, Tom Homan, on immigration enforcement. DHS reported last week that ICE officials are facing an 830% increase in assaults in the first six months of Trump's term compared to the same time period last year. Illinois, meanwhile, broadly eliminated all cash bail in 2023 with a provision included in law known as the SAFE-T Act. The provision, dubbed the Pretrial Fairness Act, was endorsed by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who argued at the time that "cash bail does not make communities safer" and "has simply exacerbated existing inequities and disparities in the criminal legal system," according to FOX 32 Chicago. Former and current Chicago-area police officials recently spoke to FOX 32 condemning the SAFE-T Act, arguing the elimination of cash bail helps criminals and harms police officers. In Los Angeles County, what's known as the "Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol (PARP)" took effect in October 2023, eliminating cash bail for most nonviolent offenses. It was met with an initial wave of lawsuits from 12 cities who argued the zero-bail switch jeopardized public safety. The Superior Court of Los Angeles County in March defended the protocol in a report that argued judges can conduct individualized risk assessments based on a suspect's criminal history, flight risk and offense severity.
