As the State of Ohio prepares to try Father Gerald Robinson for the 1980 murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, News 11 provides here an overview of the case about to unfold in a Lucas County courtroom.
The Crime:
Twenty-six years ago, on the day before Easter, Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, 71, was found dead by another nun in the sacristy of one of the chapels at Mercy Hospital in Toledo . She was lying on her back with an altar cloth covering part of her body. Sister Margaret Ann had been stabbed approximately 30 times in her chest and neck in a pattern that investigators said resembled a cross. Police believe the weapon used in the stabbing was a dagger-shaped letter opener that belonged to the priest serving as the hospital's chaplain.
