The Toledo priest convicted in 2006 of killing a nun in a hospital chapel two decades ago has died. The Rev. Gerald Robinson was 76.
Robinson was eight years in to his 15 years to life prison sentence for the 1980 killing of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl. His attorney, Richard Kerger, says the family told him Robinson died Friday morning at a Columbus prison hospice unit.
Robinson suffered a massive heart attack in early June and had since been transferred from general prison population to a prison hospice in Columbus.
His attorney asked the court to release Robinson to the care of relatives in Toledo, where the priest had wanted to die. Just Thursday, a federal court refused that request.
