	Group Wants Priest Barred from Wearing Collar in Court WKYC [Toledo OH] April 16, 2006 http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=50841&provider=top TOLEDO -- Activists in Toledo are urging that a Catholic priest not be allowed to wear a clerical collar when he goes on trial for murder. Two members of an advocacy group for victims of clergy sexual abuse tried to deliver a letter detailing their concerns to Toledo Bishop Leonard Blair yesterday. They fear seeing Reverend Gerald Robinson dressed as a priest might influence jurors. But they were barred from entering the diocesan Catholic Center and had to give their letter to the building's manager. Robinson, who has been placed on leave by the bishop, is accused of killing a nun in 1980. Jury selection in the case begins Monday. A Catholic scholar doubts the bishop will be able to keep Robinson from wearing clerical garb in court.
