Belly,
I would say exactly the same irrespective who the defendant was.

Have a look at the evidence? It does not even come close to supporting a guilty verdict. Not in our so called democracy anyway, maybe in Russia or Cuba.

HenryL.,

Why do you keep repeating the same hymn
and beating the same drum when it has been
explained quite clearly to you how the
law has changed in child abuse cases in
Australia - and what is acceptable in a
court of law regarding those cases.
It has also been explained that none of us
know what the jury heard, what was said, what
was presented to them to reach the unanimous
conviction of guilty that they reached.

Why do you defend this man - not knowing the
facts? Wait and see what the Appeal produces.
Then comment on weather it was fair or not.
For now give it a rest.

Dear Foxy,

«Wait and see what the Appeal produces.

Regardless of what the Appeal produces, regardless whether or not George Pell did what is claimed, some 20 years ago, it is totally cruel and unfair to throw him in jail for even one day. Either way, this is where he spends his days now so it is already unfair!

And as a result, now we all need to live with this added anxiety and tremble even more, whether we remember doing something unlawful in the past, whether we did something unlawful but do not remember it, or whether we are white as snow, because the same catastrophe that befell Cardinal Pell could happen to any of us, arbitrarily, yourself not an exception. This too is unfair!

IF Pell was a Labor man those defending him here would be calling for his head
Read the posts, if you do you will never again have to ask how did they get away with it
You may however ask in safety do they and those defending them, ever truly believe in God

20 years ago = totally cruel and unfair = jail.

News for you, 20 minutes ago, 20 days ago, 20 months ago, or 20 years ago does not diminish the seriousness of the crime. At what year does your statue of limitation cut in?

//And as a result, now we all need to live with this added anxiety and tremble even more, whether we remember doing something unlawful in the past, whether we did something unlawful but do not remember it, or whether we are white as snow, because the same catastrophe that befell Cardinal Pell could happen to any of us,//

Let us think, is there any Pell like skeletons in our cupboard? Yuyutsu, I cannot recall buggering any choirboys in the past 20 years, or ever, not in my lifetime. I see, Pell simply forgot about it. Strangely Pell did not take the stand in his own defence, after all he wanted his day in court, and got it. Maybe his legal team though cross examination would not have been to helpful for Pell's defence.
