Priest's appeal rejected

The Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in Rev. Gerald Robinson murder conviction. Robinson is a catholic priest convicted of murdering sister Margaret Ann Pahl. The murder took place in 1980. Robinson was convicted in 2006. The basis for his appeal was that it had been too long between the murder and his conviction.

Robinson's crime is documented in Forgive Me, Father. A True Story of a Priest, a Nun, and a Brutal Murder by John Glatt
