Gerald Robinson has never spoken publicly about the day in 1980 that Sister Margaret Ann Pahl was murdered in the chapel of Toledo's Mercy Hospital.

Church historians believe his conviction is the first U.S. case of a priest being sent to prison for killing a nun.

Robinson, 70, is serving a 15-year-to-life prison sentence in Hocking Correctional Facility in Nelsonville, Ohio. He was arrested by Lucas County cold-case investigators in April, 2004, and convicted in May, 2006, for the murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23118/gerald-robinson-4/feed 0
