Hernandez has implicated himself in the Patz’s death, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said this morning. “An individual now in custody has made statements to NYPD detectives implicating himself in the disappearance and death of Etan Patz 33 years ago,” Kelly said in a statement. Hernandez, was taken into custody at his residence in Camden, NJ, had never previously been named as a prime suspect.

    The miranda rights warning? stops many suspects from confessing to crimes when they are ready to “clear conscience”. The warning “anything you say can and will be held against you” only benefits the criminal element of our society and we did without this travesty of justice until 1966.The police did suspect this man who confessed and he was in fact known to employ Etan in odd jobs and give treats to. He was also acting strange after dissappearance. If not for Miranda he may have confessed.
