	In Appeal, Attorney Blasts 24-Year Delay in Priest's Case Associated Press, carried in WTOL March 18, 2008 http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=8032039 TOLEDO, Ohio - The attorney appealing a Toledo priest's conviction for murdering a nun has told a panel of state appeals court judges that Rev. Gerald Robinson did not get a fair trial two years ago, primarily because his arrest came too long after the killing. Sister Margaret Ann Pahl was found dead over Easter weekend of 1980 in the chapel of Mercy Hospital near downtown Toledo. Lawyer John Donahue argued Monday that the case was not handled properly to begin with. He says if it had been, Robinson would not have been convicted. The priest was not in court. He was arrested in April 2004. Prosecutor Dean Mandros told the judges the state gathered "overwhelming evidence" against Robinson. The judges indicated they'd issue a ruling on the appeal soon.
