	Trial for a Priest Who Murdered a Nun Was Flawed, Attorneys Say Associated Press, carried in WDTN August 10, 2007 http://www.wdtn.com/Global/story.asp?S=6914366 Toledo, Ohio - Attorneys for the Toledo Catholic priest convicted of murdering a nun have filed papers claiming his trial was flawed and sensationalized. Lawyers for the Reverend Gerald Robinson have taken his case to an Ohio appeals court. In the documents, they've outlined what they claim were crucial mistakes that led to Robinson's conviction last year. He was found guilty of killing 71-year-old Sister Margaret Ann Pahl in 1980 and was sentenced to a mandatory term of 15 years to life in prison. In their papers, defense attorneys accuse prosecutors of sensationalizing the case by characterizing Robinson as "the anti-Christ" and claiming Pahl was killed in a satanic ritual. They claim the trial also contained tainted evidence.
