HenryL.,

No, " word-on-word" did not used to mean acquittal.
Read the link I gave on child sexual abuse cases
in Australia. As for what was presented in the Pell case
you have no way of knowing that. Previously a gag order
was placed on the case. Now - the Appeal
still has to go through - so not everything can be
discussed.

I shall not be responding to you any further.

Foxy I will remind you of something you put up before.
Quote
"Dear Paul,

The Sydney Morning Herald published the results of
a survey on Saturday 2 March 2019 which asked:

Do you think the guilty verdict for George Pell on
child abuse charges was right?

71% said - yes

7% said - no

22% were unsure.

The Pellophiles have been outvoted!"

** You thought you were being smart by putting it here, even you final comment "The Pellophiles have been outvoted!" shows how you thought you were smarter than others, problem is it backfired.

The only thing your survey shows is that 78% of people are willing to make a decision based on MSM reports, at least there were 22% that had the brains to not make a judgement.

The shows that there is a high likely hood he had no chance of getting a fair trial. **

Henry L,

"It is not good enough for a court to say 'we won't release all what the accuser had to say but we believe him over the accused'. The public needs to be shown why."

Spot on, there should be no secrecy, if the jurors can hear something then so should the rest of the community.

Secrecy leads to conspiracy theories and the Pell case is already generating a few, we only have to look at the way conspiracy has dogged the Port Arthur murders to see what secrecy generates.

Philip S.,

No, what those stats show is that the majority of people
have faith in our jury system and our legal process.

Is Mise,

The suppression orders were put in place to ensure
that the jurors were not influenced by the media bias and that
Cardinal Pell got a fair trial. And now the same has to remain
to ensure his appeal is heard fairly.

Just a quick query, I was looking at Indian men's dress not two minutes ago, and now the same add pops up on the forum; what's going on?

Is Mise,

I love AAshni and Co Indian designer clothes from London.
I have some of their exotic outfits. I look up their
site often to see what's new.

Can't explain why I've always been drawn to these
clothes. Perhaps in another life...
