Butler County Man Convicted

A jury has convicted a Butler County man for shooting and killing his wife and her boyfriend.

51-year-old James Borchert shot 49-year-old Lonnie Schwab Sr. of Meadville, then shot his 42-year-old wife Esther.

Borchert confessed to the August 2007 killings, but later changed his story, saying he killed his wife and Schwab in self-defense, not because of her infidelity. The Borcherts had been married for 24 years.

Borchert has no previous criminal record and will be sentenced October 14.
