Priest convicted of slaying nun

[Roon]

TOLEDO, Ohio - A jury convicted a priest Thursday of killing a nun a day before Easter in 1980 in a hospital chapel, a slaying that prosecutors say was steeped with religious ritualism because of the pattern of her stab wounds.

The nun was choked and stabbed through an altar cloth with the punctures forming an upside down cross and anointed with a smudge of her blood on the forehead to humiliate her in death, prosecutors said.

The Rev. Gerald Robinson, a Roman Catholic chaplain at the hospital, worked closely with Sister Margaret Ann Pahl and presided at her funeral. He was a suspect early on but was not charged until two years ago.
