Victims' group faults reaction by local diocese
Priest accused of killing nun on radar for a year, SNAP says
...SNAP [Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests] co-leaders Claudia Vercellotti and Jon Schoonmaker said the diocese didn't follow its own protocol when it failed to place Father Robinson on leave after he was mentioned in an allegation of abuse against another priest or when the murder case was reopened.
"Father Gerald Robinson has been on the radar for over a year," Ms. Vercellotti said.
SNAP leaders also called upon Bishop Leonard P. Blair to launch an outreach effort throughout the diocese -through such means as church bulletins, the diocese Web site and the diocese's weekly newspaper - to notify area Catholics about abuse allegations against Father Robinson and clerics whose cases have not been made public.
Sally Oberski, diocese spokesman, said Father Robinson remained in his position for good reason after the woman's allegation that ultimately led to the reopening of the murder case...

The woman's allegations (eating an eyeball, penetrating with a snake, killing dogs, children, etc.) are listed in post #20

And, of course, there is a jail picture of Fr. Gerald Robinson,

Very interesting spin from CBS-News, The Early Show,

Davison, a patrolman at the time, was not involved in the investigation. He happened to be among the first at the scene because he was having breakfast in the hospital cafeteria when the nun’s body was found in the chapel.
“A nurse ran down, told us that we should get up to the chapel, that there was a nun dead,” Davison recalls. “We ran up. We got there before the call came into the police department, because everybody at the hospital knew us.”
The investigation that followed “seemed to go nowhere," the retired officer said. “I mean, you talk to the guys, ask what progress. And basically they would toss you off. So it didn't go anywhere.”
One of the police investigators at the time now says that he thought that the case had not been thoroughly investigated, and Davison agrees, suggesting that authorities may have been pressured to keep the investigation stalled.
“You really don't want to call it a coverup,” Davison said, noting “I think the diocese took control of him.” The priest was removed from Mercy Hospital, where he was practicing, but stayed in Toledo.
“You have to remember on our department, the people in the upper command levels that had control on this are good Catholics. And I'm sure that some kind of friendly deal was cut. I think basically he was under house arrest under the church care.”

If you asked me, Davison should also be named a suspect in the killing. So much for the national "news" from CBS. The fact, published all over the newspapers, is that Fr. Robinson was appointed a pastor after the 1980 incident. Parishioners at St. Anthony church, where Robinson was a pastor after the slaying, are setting up a legal defense fund. Now big fat CBS suggests the priest was put under a "house arrest" by the church.

Thank you CBS News for your no spin zone!
