Lucas is charged with killing four women and two children by slashing their throats with such force that each victim was nearly decapitated. He is also charged with the attempted murder of Jody Santiago, 30. of Seattle, Wash., who survived a slashed throat. Lucas will stand trial for the slaymgs in Lakeside of Rhonda Strang, 24, and Amber Fisher, the 3-year-old child she was baby-sit- ting in October.
