- Petition hints deceased cleric had role in her killing 1/16/08 By David
Yonke - Blade Staff Writer Attorneys for Gerald Robinson have filed a court
petition seeking to overturn the Toledo priest's 2006 murder conviction and
raising suspicions about another Catholic cleric, now deceased, who worked
with
Robinson as a chaplain at the hospital where the crime occurred in 1980. The
petition, filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, quotes Sister Dorothy Mari
e Balabuch, a Sylvania Franciscan nun, as saying she worked as a housekeeper
for the Rev. Jerome Swiatecki and described the priest as an "immoral man"
with "a very bad temper" and a fondness for knives and "hard-core
pornography."
The court document also quotes a security guard, hired two days after the
murder at the former Mercy Hospital, saying that "in my youthful zeal and my
desire to catch the perpetrator, I accused Father Swiatecki" of murdering
Sister
Margaret Ann Pahl.....Father Swiatecki, a Toledo native whose hobby was wood
carving, was ordained a priest in 1941 and died in 1996 at age 83....Retired
Deputy Chief Ray Vetter said he recalls Father Swiatecki as having had "an
airtight alibi." Police reports from 1980 said Father Swiatecki was eating
breakfast with several nuns in the hospital's dining room at the time of the
murder. Robinson, now 69, was found guilty May 11, 2006, and is serving a
15-years-to-life sentence at Hocking Correctional Facility in southern Ohio.
Sister
Margaret Ann, 71, had been strangled to the verge of death, then stabbed 31
times in the sacristy of the Catholic hospital on Holy Saturday, 1980.
