Jake Retzlaff has found a new home in college football.The former BYU quarterback verbally committed to transfer to Tulane, according to ESPN.Retzlaff was background checked by Tulane, which included their Title IX office, the report adds. He will be considered a walk-on when he hits campus, and Retzlaff will have to compete for the starting role.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThis move by Retzlaff, who is entering his fifth and final year of eligibility in NCAA, comes after a formal withdrawal from the school on July 11. He left the university and football program due to the teams plan to suspend him seven games for breaking the schools honor code."After a lot of prayers, reflection and conversations with those I trust, Ive made the difficult decision to officially withdraw from BYU and the BYU football program," Retzlaff posted on Instagram."BYU has meant more to me that just football. Its been a place of growth spiritually, mentally and physically. Im grateful for every teammate, coach, staff member and fan whos supported me along the way."JAKE RETZLAFF WITHDRAWS FROM BYU SHORTLY AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT LAWSUIT DISMISSALRetzlaff was involved in a lawsuit in May, where a woman accused him of rape in November 2023. Retzlaff denied that allegation, saying that it was consensual sex.Retzlaffs attorneys and the woman who accused him filed a joint motion last month in Salt Lake Citys 3rd District Court to dismiss the case, per multiple reports.The joint motion comes due to "prejudice and upon the merits of the Plaintiffs complaint against the Defendant," which translates to the plaintiff not being able to refile the suit.BYU is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and engaging in consensual premarital sex is a violation of the schools honor code. Its a strict set of rules that instructs students to "live a chaste and virtuous life," according to the Salt Lake Tribune.While Retzlaff is not a Mormon, all students enrolled at BYU must follow the honor code.So,having one year left of eligibility as a graduate student, Retzlaff could move on to make sure he plays a full season before a potential leap into the NFL.Retzlaff joins a Tulane team coached by Jon Sumrall, whom he has history with after being recruited to Troy before choosing BYU. While the familiarity is there, ESPN reports Sumrall is not handing the reins to Retzlaff, as he will need to earn the starting role before that happens.It was a breakout season for Retzlaff in 2024, as he led BYU to an 11-2 record with 2,947 yards passing with 20 touchdowns.Sumralls Green Wave squad went 9-5 in his debut season with the team, and theyre hoping to improve with a potential new quarterback in Retzlaff under center in 2025.

FIRST ON FOX: Former special counsel David Weiss got little support from the Department of Justice (DOJ) when he sought lawyers to help prosecute President Joe Bidens son Hunter, Weiss told Congress during a recent closed-door interview.Amid delicate plea deal negotiations between Hunter Biden and Weiss in 2023, Weiss said he asked the DOJ deputy attorney generals office for a team of trial lawyers and received a single resume, according to a transcript of the interview reviewed by Fox News Digital."Actually, as I think about the sequencing, I had started to reach out myself directly to offices or people that I knew and make my own inquiries," Weiss told House Judiciary Committee staff of his struggle to hire lawyers for the sensitive job of trying the president's son.Weiss appeared on Capitol Hill for the interview in June as part of the committees inquiry into the DOJs years-long investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden.SPECIAL COUNSEL WEISS BLASTS BIDEN IN FINAL HUNTER PROSECUTION REPORTNow no longer a DOJ employee, Weiss spoke candidly for hours with the committee, shedding new light on his interactions with the Biden DOJ and giving fresh insight into why Hunter Biden was never charged with certain violations.Weiss was appointed U.S. attorney of Delaware during the first Trump administration and began investigating Hunter Biden at that time. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland made Weiss special counsel in August 2023 after a plea agreement with Hunter Biden fell apart.Republicans had accused Weiss of offering Hunter Biden a "sweetheart" plea deal that involved only misdemeanors. But in an unusual move, a judge rejected the deal, leading Weiss to instead bring two successful indictments against the then-first son, one for illegal gun possession and another for nine tax charges, including three felonies.Weiss came under enormous scrutiny by Republicans and Democrats for his handling of the investigation, which had become a hyper-political national news story centered on the salacious behavior and wrongdoings of Hunter Biden, a recovering drug and alcohol addict, and allegations that Joe Biden was complicit in his sons crimes.Republicans claimed Weiss was not tough enough on Hunter Biden, while Democrats said he was being treated more harshly than a typical defendant because he was the presidents son. Joe Biden ultimately granted an unconditional pardon to his son, a move widely criticized by members of both parties.Weiss said during the interview that he was "fortunate enough to obtain a couple very excellent prosecutors," a reference to the two DOJ attorneys who handled trial preparations for Hunter Biden.But, Weiss also indicated that when he first requested lawyers in the spring of 2023, he had to be self-sufficient in finding them and that the deputy attorney general's office was unhelpful. Weiss noted he did not deal directly with former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco at all and assumed she was recused from Hunter Biden's cases.Weiss said that at one point he ran into the director of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, which handles recruitment, at an event and asked if any hiring progress had been made.Weiss did not "have a whole lot of success" during that conversation, he said."What do you mean, you didnt have success? They didnt give you lawyers?" a committee aide asked."I got one resume," Weiss replied.The aide asked, "Nobody wanted to come prosecute Hunter Biden?""I dont want to say that because I dont know that they werent trying to find people," Weiss said. "All I know was I didnt get a whole lot of resumes."HUNTER BIDEN: A LOOK AT HOW THE SAGA SPANNING OVER SIX YEARS UNFOLDEDWeiss eventually gained two attorneys, Leo Wise and Derek Hines, who went on to secure a conviction by a jury in Delaware after a week-long trial on gun possession charges and a guilty plea to all nine of Hunter Biden's tax charges.A committee aide pressed Weiss on why he felt there was "such a drought" of help at DOJ headquarters."As I said a moment ago I did not receive a lot of resumes in response to my initial request," Weiss said, noting that eventually the DOJ's Public Integrity Section assisted him.Asked if the Public Integrity Section helped him because Weiss proactively reached out, Weiss replied, "Probably."For his testimony, the Trump DOJ gave Weiss permission in a letter to talk to Congress about Hunter Bidens cases. The department noted, however, that it could not authorize Weiss to talk about the former first sons confidential tax information.Weiss suggested, though, that he would have charged Hunter Biden for the 2014 and 2015 tax years if he could have.FLASHBACK: DEMOCRATS CLASH WITH REPUBLICANS OVER PROSPECT OF CALLING HUNTER BIDEN IN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL"To the extent I can put together and this is general a case that involves more years than not and allows me to more fully develop allegations about a course of conduct and a scheme, that's better for the prosecution," Weiss said. "So it's not like I'm looking to cut out years generally when you're pursuing a tax investigation."During the years in question, Hunter Biden was raking in $1 million per year as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma while his father, then vice president, was overseeing foreign policy with Ukraine. The scenario became ripe for questions about conflicts of interest, in part because of suspicious interactions between Hunter Biden and the Obama State Department.In Weisss final special counsel report, he dodged explaining why he brought charges of failure to pay taxes and tax evasion against Hunter Biden only for the tax years after 2015, citing Joe Bidens pardon. Now, Weiss said, he would be more willing to talk about it if he were legally allowed to do so.Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pressed Weiss, saying the "political aspects of Burisma" raised "glaring" questions about the prosecutorial decisions made for the years for which Hunter Biden avoided charges."I understand," Weiss replied. "Absolutely. Yes. And I wish that I could address it. But it's my understanding that, for me to trip into 2014 and '15 is a violation of [U.S. code]."Weiss also told the committee his team had no serious discussions about charging Hunter Biden under a foreign lobby law called the Foreign Agents Registration Act."We just couldn't put together a sufficient case," Weiss said.

Iran on Monday confirmed it will not give up its nuclear enrichment program in an exclusive interview with Fox News Bret Baier and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, set to air at 6 pm on Monday's "Special Report."Araghchi confirmed that the U.S.s top ambition in preventing Tehran from further developing a nuclear weapon by blocking all enrichment capabilities is unlikely to come to fruition, despite threats of intense international sanctions."We cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride," Araghchi said. "Our enrichment is so dear to us," he told Bret Baier, anchor and executive editor of Special Report, in a clip released before the full interview airs.IRAN SEEKS CHINA, RUSSIA HELP TO STALL UN SANCTIONS AHEAD OF NUCLEAR TALKS WITH EUROPEANSThe foreign minister confirmed that the extent of the damage to its nuclear facilities caused by the U.S. strikes last month was "serious," but he would not comment on whether any enriched uranium survived the strikes."Our facilities have been damaged seriously damaged," Araghchi said. "The extent of which is now under evaluation by our atomic energy organization."But as far as I know, they are seriously damaged," he added, noting that the damage has also currently ceased all enrichment capabilities for the time being.Iran has maintained that it was not seeking a nuclear weapon, but in the lead up to the Israeli and U.S. strikes, security experts were sounding the alarm that Tehran was likely capable of producing at least one nuclear weapon in a matter of days, and several warheads in a matter of weeks.IRAN VOWS RETALIATION IF UN SECURITY COUNCIL ISSUES SNAPBACK SANCTIONS ON ANNIVERSARY OF NUCLEAR DEALWhile nuclear enrichment is a process needed for nations that also rely on nuclear power, Irans nuclear energy usage amounts to less than one percent of the nation's energy consumption.The U.S. has suggested that given the low amounts of nuclear energy which Iran relies on, it should join a consortium that could potentially involve nations like the UAE and Saudi Arabia for its enriched uranium needs for civil nuclear power use.But Iran has repeatedly rejected this proposal, with Iranian Supreme Leader AyatollahAliKhamenei also referring to Tehrans capabilities as a source of national pride just last month."The number of countries in the world that have achieved a complete nuclear fuel cycle is perhaps fewer than the number of fingers on a persons two hands," Khamenei said in early June. "We're capable of producing nuclear fuel starting from the mine and all the way to the power plant."But Iran also faces immense international sanctions and even greater arms restrictions should it fail to reach a nuclear agreement by the end of August though it is unclear if that agreement must include the U.S. or just European nations including France, Germany and the U.K., also referred to as the E3.Iranian officials will not only be meeting with its top allies and chief adversaries to the West, Russia and China, on Tuesday, but Tehran is also set to hold talks on Friday with officials from the E3.Washington and Tehran have yet to resume talks following the U.S. strikes last month.

Former President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election in a Sunday afternoon social media post a year ago that has since left the Democratic Party in a state of panic as it jumped to a new presidential candidate before suffering a devastating blow by MAGA voters at the ballot boxes in November that year.A year after Biden's X post sent shock waves felt across the political spectrum, the Democratic Party is still reeling from the botched campaign cycle and has found itself in a "cold war," according to Democrat Julian Epstein, the former House Judiciary chief counsel."The Democratic Party has entered into a new phase of a cold war, whether it realizes it or not," Epstein told Fox News Digital. "On the one hand, we have an increasingly radicalized socialist movement, out of step with mainstream voters, dependent on the pander politics of the welfare state, addicted to a sectarian Neo-racialist identititarian ideology, and aligning with the world's most oppressive movements in the Mideast. And most of this is driven by a delusional worldview that progressives are somehow the liberating oppression in West. The problem is almost no voters agree with this worldview."While the other side of the party, he said, is "a more trad moderate wing" that is "glomming on to the new fad known as the 'abundance.'"BIDEN CAMPAIGN TAPPED 24-YEAR-OLD SOCIAL MEDIA WHIZ TO POST PRESIDENTS DROPOUT LETTER, NEW BOOK REVEALS"This movement is led by the so-called smarties in the center,"he continued. "It's not that abundance is not a smart pivot it is.The problem is it's too small, too technocratic, too inside baseball for a meaningful reset. And those leading this alternative vision seem too easily intimidated by the other wing, and particularly the flying monkeysof the online progressive left, whenever they pop their heads up. As a result, the moderates lack any big bold vision to reset the party to a more viable common-sense center."The Democratic Party's current state followed an unprecedented 2024 election cycle that was thrown into a tailspin when Biden officially announced he would not run for re-election in the dead of summer.Biden's White House staff and campaign had for weeks following his disastrous June 27, 2024, debate against President Donald Trump that the 46th president would remain in the race despite mounting concerns over his mental acuity and calls for him to bow out and pass the torch to a younger generation of Democrats.Despite allies urging Democratic voters to "keep the faith" and support Biden, the president posted a letter to X that read: "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."Biden shortly thereafter endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take the reins of the Democratic campaign to secure the White House for another term, leaving her with just 100 days to reinvigorate support for the blue ticket.Harris failed to drum up the support needed to defeat Trump, losing each of the seven swing states, including the key battleground of Pennsylvania that carries 19 electoral votes.In the wake of the election, Democrats played a blame game for the loss, with some pointing to Harris' campaign, arguing the Biden campaign left them in a lurch with just 107 days. Others pointed to Harris' running mate, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as a weak choice to invigorate voters.Others pinned blame on the apparent behind-the-scenes push from high-profile Democrats to encourage Biden out of the race.DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCRAMBLES TO FIX IMAGE AS MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE PARTY 'LOST CREDIBILITY'A handful of former President Barack Obama's allies and former advisors publicly helped lead the charge in calling on Biden to drop out of the 2024 race earlier in the summer, includingDavid Axelrod, who said Biden was "not winning this race;" George Clooney, who called on the president to quit in a bombshell op-ed; and Jon Favreau, who served as formerdirector of speech writing for Obama."There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because the Obama advisors publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out, didnt even want Kamala Harris as the nominee, and then signed up as the saviors of the campaign, only to run outdated Obama-era playbooks for a candidate that wasnt Obama," one former Biden staffer told Politico in the immediate fallout of the election.Other pundits pointed to how the Obamas took three days before endorsing Harris after allegedly encouraging Biden to drop out.DEM SENATOR SAYS BIDEN SHOULD HAVE DROPPED OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE MUCH SOONERFollowing the immediate backlash over Harris' election loss, the Democratic Party has grappled with the exodus of the working-class vote to the GOP, with high-profile senators such as John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Bernie Sanders of Vermont arguing Democrats turned their backs on the blue-collar vote."It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change," Sanders posted to X following the election. "And theyre right."Fetterman, who repeatedly has been identified as the Democratic Party's "voice of reason" following the 2024 race, argued in February that the party had become "toxic" after years of "shaming and scolding" voters.DEMOCRATS SEETHE OVER BIDEN'S RETURN TO PUBLIC EYE: REPORT"I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them Hey, I know better than you, or youre dopes, or youre a bro, or youre ignorant or, how can you be this dumb?' I cant imagine it. And then, by the way, theyre fascists. How can you vote for that?" Fetterman said on a podcast in February."And you know, when youre in a state like Pennsylvania, I know and I love people that voted for Trump, and theyre not fascist. They dont support insurrection and those things. And if you go to an extreme, and you become a boutique kind of proposition, then youre going to lose the argument. And we have done that."The party's identity crisis has been underscored by claims it has gone too far to the left in recent years, most notably on social issues such as transgender issues, with even the New York Times editorial board chastising the party in a March op-ed."Democrats should recognize that the party moved too far left on social issues after Barack Obama left office in 2017. The old video clips of Ms. Harris that the Trump campaign gleefully replayed last year on decriminalizing the border and government-funded gender-transition surgery for prisoners highlighted the problem. Yes, she tried to abandon these stances before the election, but she never spoke forthrightly to voters and acknowledged she had changed her position," the editorial board wrote at the time.Obama has meanwhile told the party to "toughen up" and "stop looking for a quick fix" after the election."I think its going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And its going to require Democrats to just toughen up," Obama said at a fundraiser earlier in July, according to excerpts obtained by CNN. "Dont tell me youre a Democrat, but youre kind of disappointed right now, so youre not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something."The midterms next year loom large over both political parties. Democrats are embroiled in controversy in New York City's mayoral race, where socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani locked down the Democratic primary in June and has since come under fierce scrutiny for his far-left platform.BIDEN DENIES HE LEFT 2024 RACE TOO LATE TO STOP TRUMP, SAYS IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCEEpstein continued that the Democrat Party's current "cold war" is also rooted in an "addiction" to "anger.""Undergirding all this is a dangerous culture of anger and negativity that has become the party's public face.The increasingly loud voices seem to be trapped in a permanent primal scream, and at times seem more like an odd street dance troupe or college protesters,"he said. "This is what happens when social media influence rather than governance becomes a party's North Star,"Epstein continued. "Anger has become the norm on the left, ithas become an addiction, a shibboleth.It's a narcotic within the progressive monoculture, but it's toxic outside of it. Until the party can say no to the activist groups, get more focused on voters rather than online influencers, and move back to the traditional political center as it was in the 1990s, the toxic ratings for the party, the worst perhaps on record, will continue to decline."As Biden notches his one-year anniversary since dropping out of his re-election race, Trump celebrated a milestone of his own Sunday: the six-month anniversary of his second presidency."Wow, time flies! Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, its being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President," Trump wrote on social media Sunday. "In other words, we got a lot of good and great things done, including ending numerous wars of Countries not related to us other than through Trade and/or, in certain cases, friendship," he added on TRUTH Social. "Six months is not a long time to have totally revived a major Country.""One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival. Today the USA is the hottest and most respected Country anywhere in the World. Happy Anniversary!!!"

The second illegal immigrant suspect arrested Monday in the shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer in New York City over the weekend has a lengthy criminal background, officials said.Cristian Aybar Berroa of the Dominican Republic "illegally entered the United States on June 19, 2022, and was released into the country on interim parole pending his immigration hearing," according to theDepartment of Homeland Security.He then allegedly committed a litany of crimes in New York City, including arrests for 2nd degree reckless endangerment in May 2023 and 4th degree felony grand larceny and petit larceny in March and April 2024, officials said.Following the April 2024 arrest, "Despite an active ICE detainer, the New York City Department of Corrections released Berroa back onto NYC streets," Homeland Security said.NOEM BLAMES SANCTUARY POLICIES FOR MIGRANT ACCUSED OF SHOOTING OFF-DUTY CBP OFFICERBerroa was then arrested by the New York City Police Department in February 2025for 2nd degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and for driving without a license, the DHS continued. "On June 12, 2025, Berroa pled guilty to petit larceny at the Bronx County Supreme Court. This plea was made in consolidation of all his previous arrests, and he was conditionally discharged and allowed to roam the streets of NYC," it also said. "A judge ordered Berroa a final order of removal on January 3, 2023."He and Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez are now expected to face federal charges in connection to the shooting at New York Citys Fort Washington Park late Saturday, Interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton announced Monday.SHOOTER WHO OPENED FIRE ON BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN SOUTH TEXAS IDENTIFIED BY POLICE CHIEFOfficials believe the shooting happened during an attempted robbery."A witness of the attack stated that she and the victim were sitting on the rocks by the water when two subjects on a scooter drove up to them, dismounted the scooter and approached them with a firearm drawn. The off-duty CBP officer responded by withdrawing his own firearm in self defense. The CBP officer was shot in his right arm and left cheek. Thankfully, the officer is in stable condition at the hospital," Homeland Security said.NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday that Berroa was the scooter driver in the incident."He was arrested eight times between March and April 2024 for grand larcenies and robberies involving a scooter in the Bronx," she said. "He's also a suspect in at least four additional cases. He entered this country illegally through Texas in 2022."Multiple sources within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Fox News that the men involved in the shooting are believed to be the same men caught on video in an armed robbery of a business in Leominster, Massachusetts, in February. Sources said in that incident during which a store owner reportedly was bound with duct tape and held at gunpoint two firearms were stolen.Fox News Bill Melugin contributed to this report.

Former first son Hunter Biden disclosed his father was on an anti-insomnia prescription ahead of his disastrous 2024 debate that may have affected his command of the stage that evening.Biden said former President Joe Biden had taken Ambien, a gamma-aminobutyric acid enhancer similar to benzodiazepines, to help him sleep better amid his grueling schedule and advanced age.He criticized several members of former President Barack Obamas inner circle for continually doubting his father, saying that the 2024 State of the Union was a make-or-break moment that the elder Biden "knock[ed] out of the park."The debate, he said, was the next test his father was given by Democratic elders to see if he should run for reelection.HUNTER BIDEN RAGES AGAINST F---ING THUG TRUMP, INVOKES KKK IN IMMIGRATION RANT"I know exactly what happened in that debate.

And it feeds into every f---ing story that anybody wants to tell," Hunter went on, adding that CNN anchor Jake Tappers book relied on several anonymous sources for his related expose because in reality no one had spoken out against Joe."If this was a conspiracy somehow the entirety of a White House in which you're literally living on top of each other has kept their mouth shut about you now, like what? And what's the conspiracy? Did Joe Biden get old? Yeah, he got old. He got old before our eyes. The people that came out against him were who nobody except Speaker Emerita Pelosi did not give a full-throated endorsement, which allowed everybody else to kind of go, OK.'"Who came out full-throated? Progressives. AOC, Bernie, the entire progressive wing, [Silicon Valley Congressman] Ro Khanna. The entirety of the progressive side of the Democratic Party said Joe Biden has got more of our agenda accomplished in four years than any president in history.

He goes and does Stephanopoulos, and everybody said that's not enough"Earlier in the interview, with Delaware Valley podcaster Andrew Callaghan, Hunter savaged Obamas inner circle, mocking the hosts of "Pod Save America" made up of his then-youthful close aides as "Saviors of the Democratic Party."DNC VICE CHAIR COMPARES TRUMP TO NOTORIOUS SEGREGATIONISTS DURING HEATED TOWN HALL EVENT WITH BETO O'ROURKE"[Theyre] White millionaires that are dining out on their association with Barack Obama from 16 years ago living in Beverly f---ing Hills telling the rest of the world what Black voters in South Carolina really want or what the waitress living outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin [want]."I hear Rahm Emanuel's going to run for president," he added incredulously.

A federal appeals court overturned a guilty verdict in the case of a man convicted in the 1979 killing of 6-year-old Etan Patz in New York City, which could be considered one of the most notorious missing child cases in the country.Pedro Hernandez was convicted in February 2017 of killing Etan. The conviction came just five years after Hernandez confessed to police that he lured the boy into the basement of the convenience store he worked at, using soda.Prosecutors said Hernandez choked Etan, stuffed his body into a plastic garbage bag hidden inside a box, and took it out with the trash.Hernandez was sentenced to 25 years to life behind bars in April 2017.MENENDEZ BROTHERS BANK ON NEW TRIAL AS BACKUP IF PAROLE BID FAILSBut on Monday, a federal appeals court overturned the conviction because of how the trial judge handled a note from the jury during Hernandezs second trial, which took place in 2017 the first trial took place in 2015 and ended in a jury deadlock.The appeals court found that the trial judge in 2017 gave "clearly wrong" and "manifestly prejudicial" instructions to the jury in response to a question about the suspects confessions to police.During jury deliberations, the jury asked the judge whether, if it deemed invalid a confession Hernandez made before being advised of his Miranda rights to remain silent, it must also disregard a subsequent confession after those warnings were given.The judge told the jury no, but the appeals court said that answer was incorrect.MENENDEZ BROTHERS SCORE CRUCIAL LEGAL VICTORY IN DECADES-LONG FIGHT AS THEY AWAIT POTENTIAL FREEDOMThe decision overturns the guilty conviction, and the court ordered Hernandez to be released unless the state gives him a new trial within a reasonable period to be set by the lower court judge.The Manhattan District Attorneys office said it was reviewing the appeals courts decision.Hernandez, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, confessed soon after his brother-in-law told detectives the store clerk may have been a suspect, The New York Times reported. The relative claimed Hernandez told a prayer group decades earlier that he'd killed a child in New York.EXPERT WARNS IDAHO MURDERER'S PLEA DEAL STRATEGY IS A DANGEROUS CALCULATED 'LONG GAME'However, the defense claimed he was mentally unstable, and incapable of keeping the truth separate from fiction. "Pedro Hernandez is an odd, limited and vulnerable man," defense attorney Harvey Fishbein said during closing arguments.Defense lawyers also pointed to a different man who was long the prime suspect a convicted Pennsylvania child molester who made incriminating remarks about Etan's case in the 1990s and who had dated a woman acquainted with the Patz family. He was never charged and denied killing the boy.The sentencing was the culmination of a long quest to hold someone criminally accountable in a case that affected police practices, parenting and the nation's consciousness of missing children.Since the boy's disappearance, law enforcement and volunteers have beefed up their capabilities in finding missing or lost children, establishing a nationwide network of search teams. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was incorporated in 1984 and soon launched a 24-hour hotline for tips.National Missing Children's Day is held every May 25 the day in 1979 that Patz vanished.Fox News Mike Arroyo and Lissa Kaplan, as well as The Associated Press, contributed to this report.
