BRONX DISTRICT ATTORNEY DARCEL D. CLARK STATEMENT ON DISPOSITION OF PEDRO HERNANDEZ CASES
“Today we offered to dismiss the two cases against Pedro Hernandez. He has told the court he has been accepted by a college. Under the unique circumstances, the cases have been adjourned until May 2019. If Mr. Hernandez enrolls in a college in January 2019, completes the semester, and provides proof, we will move to dismiss both cases.
“We believe in dispositions outside the criminal justice system whenever possible and when they provide consideration of the rights of the victim, fairness to the defendant and do not compromise public safety.
“We believe this disposition will give Mr. Hernandez the opportunity to put his life on the right path to succeed. Now it is up to him.”
