Police Commissioner Ray Kelly pressured Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. into charging the confessed killer of Etan Patz — even though the top prosecutor wanted more evidence, sources told The Post yesterday. “Vance did not want an arrest,” said a source familiar with the murder case against bipolar schizophrenic Pedro Hernandez, who copped to the 1979 crime last week. “Kelly pushed, insisted, but Vance wanted time to investigate,” the source said. “He wanted to hold him in a safe place and evaluate the guy while they investigated.”
