A carpenter was convicted on Wednesday of murdering two prostitutes found beaten to death in the 1990s and faces 50 years to life in prison. Prosecutors used DNA evidence found on both victims as the keystone of their case against 51-year-old John Bittrolff. "This was inadvertent," Biancavilla said of the DNA match before the trial began. He said this is the first conviction in a homicide case in New York state involving "partial match" DNA. No suspects have been identified in those unsolved killings, some of which date to the 1990s.
