Closing arguments in the Toledo murder trial today, with the prosecution backing off from the Satanic connection:

The murder of a nun 26 years ago was sparked by a priest’s career disappointment, not devotion to Satan, a prosecutor asserted in closing arguments at the clergyman’s trial Wednesday.

The prosecutor told jurors that the Rev. Gerald Robinson lashed out at the victim, a strong-willed, outspoken woman whose religious order ran the hospital where he worked, because he was deeply frustrated at being passed over for a position as a military chaplain and loathed his work giving last rites and comforting the sick.
