t He waits for justice int~ Lucas trial But no longer sees gas chamber as only answer By Lorie Hearn Staff Writer John Swanke has had nearly three years to fantasize angrily about kill- ing his daughter's murderer. But now he believes that if her killer is remorseful, one life should not be traded for another in Califor- nia's gas chamber. "I'm a father, I'm not a sadist," Swanke said. "This mati is going to face God someday. I hope he doesn't go to hell for this." Swanke's daughter Anne Catherine was 22 and an honor student at the University of San Diego when she disappeared Nov. 20, 1984 Her aban- doned car, which had run out of gas, was found at a La Mesa ~ntersP<'tion. Her bodv with throat slashed - was d1,;covered m a r mote area of Sprmg Vall y David All n ucas, a 32-year-old Casa de Oro carpet cleaner, 1s accused o her murder and the mur- ders of five other women and chil- dren m hat one of the pros cutors called San Diego's fir~t "serial mur- der situation." His trial on at least three of the charges began last November, but it 1s expected to be tangled in motions for months before jury selection can begin. Although John Swanke, a philoso- . phy professor at USD, is annoyed at the delays in Lucas' case, he said time his religious convictions and 20 years of researching the death penal- ty have moderated his retaliatory feeling about punishment. "My first reaction to the f t of my tlaughter was to go get a gun and kill somebody," he said. "I was emo- tionally re.ady to kill anybody who looked like they were the person." Swanke worked for the defeat last year of state Supreme Court Chief Justice Rose Bird and her two asso- ciates, who were accused by oppo- nents of failing to uphold the state's death penalty law. He was motivated by the contention that capital punish- ment should be available for those who have no sorrow for their vic- tims. He still believes that. If an uncaring Lucas is found guilty of murdering his daughter with the special allegations that could carry a death sentence, "I am quite prepared to hope he gets the death penalty," Swanke said. But if Lucas were found guilty and was sincerely sorry, he should not die in the gas chamber, Swanke said as he reflected on the forgiveness taught by the Catholic faith he prac- tices. "If Lucas made a mistake, or even a senes of mistakes, I'm not willing to make him suffer more than he is already ... " he said. "If ci. µerson has done something very foolisl-, I don't want him on the streets to make a
