A Lehigh County jury acquitted Michael Breisch of Rose Hnath’s 1989 murder despite his DNA on the weapon, ending a 36-year case.
A Lehigh County jury has acquitted 67-year-old Michael Breisch of the 1989 murder of 78-year-old Rose Hnath, despite his DNA being found on a BB gun at the scene.
The verdict, delivered after a weeklong trial, ends a 36-year investigation.
Prosecutors presented 18 witnesses and argued Breisch burglarized Hnath’s home, where she was found stabbed and hit with the weapon.
The defense claimed another man, later convicted of murder in Texas, was at a nearby fire station during the crime, but prosecutors disputed that timeline.
The judge excluded Breisch’s prior criminal history to avoid bias.
While Breisch expressed relief, Hnath’s family mourned the lack of closure.
Officials plan to reassess the case using new investigative avenues.
