When the case was dismissed on September 6, 2017, I said I would not tolerate misconduct by
law enforcement. My Office’s Public Integrity Bureau delved into the allegations surrounding
the Pedro Hernandez case.
Because the investigation has broadened, we saw the need for additional law enforcement
resources and the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Joon H. Kim,
has agreed to assist my office in this investigation.
