unreasonable? Did the jury deliver a verdict that
was not supported by evidence?
These are questions for the Appeal Court.
This case needs to go through the proper legal
process. We can only hope that the complainant can
find some peace, and is able to get on with his life
whichever way the appeal goes.
This is such a sad, sad, and controversial case -
if the appeal wins it will send an incredibly
damaging message to survivors who are thinking about
coming forward in these cases. And if it fails -
believers may truly wonder if Cardinal Pell is the
unwitting victim of a wounded nation in search of
a scapegoat.
