Jurors spent two days of deliberations before reaching a verdict against 34-year-old Michael Schultz

Jurors spent two days of deliberations before reaching a verdict against 34-year-old Michael Schultz. The same panel found Schultz guilty of 1st-degree murder and special-circumstance allegations that he killed Cynthia Burger on Aug. 5, 1993.
Semen was tested for DNA and stored at the county crime lab for years. It was matched to Schultz in 2000 after investigators received a tip that Schultz had killed Burger.
A Superior Court judge set a March 26 hearing to announce whether he will accept the verdict or reduce Schultz's sentence to life in prison without parole.
