NEW YORK – The man charged with killing a 6-year-old New York City boy who vanished in 1979 is securing an unusual witness for his defense: a convicted Pennsylvania child molester who was long the prime suspect.
A judge in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ordered Jose Antonio Ramos to appear at Pedro Hernandez' trial next year. The Citizens' Voice of Wilkes-Barre that's at the request of Hernandez' lawyer, Harvey Fishbein.
Hernandez is charged with killing Etan Patz (AY'-tahn PAYTS'). His disappearance helped mobilize a nationwide missing-children's movement.
Police said Hernandez admitted killing Etan. Fishbein says Hernandez made a false confession.
Ramos was never charged and has denied involvement in Etan's disappearance. But a civil court held Ramos responsible for the boy's death.
Ramos is currently jailed on a charge of violating sex-offender-registration requirements.
