On Monday, July 21, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit allowed the murder conviction of Pedro Hernandez, 64, to be vacated, as first reported by the New York Times.

"I want to first apologize to the people of Santa Clara for this long ordeal," Becker said in court Friday. "Additionally, I want to respect what the jury's decision was, despite my other disagreements. I respect the jury's decision and I respect this court."

In a pair of decisions filed Thursday, Judge Beverly Cannone allowed prosecutors access to unredacted recordings and off-the-record notes from Read's interviews with Boston magazine reporter Gretchen Voss.
