Priest convicted of killing nun 26 years ago
A jury in Toledo, Ohio, today convicted a priest of murdering a nun a day before Easter in 1980 in a hospital chapel, a killing that prosecutors say was steeped with religious ritualism because of the pattern of her stab wounds.
The nun was 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.
