TOLEDO, Ohio – An ailing Roman Catholic priest convicted of killing a nun is asking a judge to let him come home to Toledo to die.
An attorney for Gerald Robinson filed a motion in federal court Friday seeking “an act of grace for a dying man.” The 76-year-old Robinson could possibly spend his final days in the care of nuns who have agreed to take him in.
Robinson is in a prison hospice unit in Columbus.
The (Toledo) Blade reports that his attorney on June 2 sent a letter to the governor requesting Robinson’s release from prison after learning that Robinson had suffered “a massive coronary” and was terminal. But that request was denied.
