No Trial For Man On Rape Counts Following DNA Results

Recent DNA tests have set William E. Barnhouse free, it appears, for good. He won’t stand trial for rape and other charges filed against him in connection with a 1992 incident. He was found guilty of those crimes, but was released in March after DNA testing showed it was someone else who had attacked a victim in the case. A Circuit Court judge granted a motion from prosecutors to set aside his convictions. Barnhouse is now 60 years old.
