Toledo Blade
The Little Sisters of the Poor apparently have not agreed to accept convicted murderer Gerald Robinson as a patient at their Sacred Heart Home in Oregon.
In a court filing today, Rick Kerger, attorney for the dying Catholic priest, amended his petition seeking to have Robinson released from a prison hospital to return to Toledo. He informed the court that the Little Sisters “were not asked to care for, and have not made any commitment to care for” Robinson.
Mr. Kerger wrote that the error in his original petition for equitable relief filed on Friday was his own. He declined to comment Tuesday.
Last week, Mr. Kerger asked a federal court judge to release Robinson to the Little Sisters of the Poor or to Robinson’s brother and sister-in-law in Toledo. Robinson, 76, is in a hospice unit at Franklin Medical Center, a Columbus hospital run by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, after suffering “a massive coronary.”
