A jury in New Castle, found Thomas H. Kimbell Jr. not guilty. Kimbell became the 101st person to be released since 1973 from death row after exoneration.Kimbell, 40, was convicted in 1998 of stabbing to death Bonnie Dryfuse, 34, her daughters, Heather, 4, and Jacqueline, 7, and her niece, Stephanie Herko, 5, on June 15, 1994. But in 2000 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the conviction and said Kimbell was entitled to a new trial because the judge had refused to permit jurors to hear evidence that raised doubts about his guilt.
