Jurors weren't told about the wrongful-death judgment against Ramos but did hear defense testimony casting suspicion on him. A court has thrown out a wrongful-death judgment against a longtime suspect in a notorious 1979 missing-child case, since another man ultimately was criminally charged. Ramos' lawyer, Frank Rothman, said Monday that "it's about time his judgment was vacated." Etan's father, Stanley Patz, asked in letters he wrote Ramos for years. Both Ramos and Hernandez deny killing Etan, who vanished while walking to his school bus stop.
