flag 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. flag The verdict, delivered after a weeklong trial, ends a 36-year investigation. flag Prosecutors presented 18 witnesses and argued Breisch burglarized Hnath’s home, where she was found stabbed and hit with the weapon. flag 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. flag The judge excluded Breisch’s prior criminal history to avoid bias. flag While Breisch expressed relief, Hnath’s family mourned the lack of closure. flag Officials plan to reassess the case using new investigative avenues.
