COLUMBUS — A Toledo priest who was convicted of killing a Catholic nun at the former Mercy Hospital has been transferred to the hospice unit of a prison hospital, according to his attorney.
Gerald Robinson, 76, was moved from the Hocking unit of Southeastern Correctional Institution to the Franklin Medical Center, which has a unit “for inmates suffering from advanced terminal illness,” according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Web site.
ODRC Spokesman JoEllen Smith confirmed today that Robinson was “being treated at an outside medical facility,” but could not provide any other details.
Toledo attorney Rick Kerger, who is representing Robinson in his appeal, said Monday that his client was taken to Franklin Medical Center in Columbus Friday and transferred to Ohio State University Medical Center, where physicians concluded he was “terminal.” He was then moved back to the Franklin Medical Center, which is operated by the ODRC.
