Dear Mr Op,

I am currently reading through the judgement. It looks to me more like a great deal of hard work and reasoning than conspiracy.

Cheers

Dear Is Mise,

«that principle is one of the reasons that the death penalty was abolished.»

I wish is wasn't, because now prison is the only remaining option.

For real hardened criminals who are indeed guilty, prison may not be a big deal, but for good and innocent people who live a wholesome life and always keep away from evil, nothing is more terrible than prison, including death. I for one am much more afraid of prison than of death.

Why should good people then have to live in such constant fear, even previously but especially now when any adversary or competitor (political, financial, romantic, etc.) can rid of them by reporting them as child-abusers and be believed?

Why not allow the innocent who are wrongly convicted the death option so at least they can appeal to the Highest court that is never wrong?

Dear Fester,

Let's wait to see how things pan out. If things happen the way I predict then I will be having a whole lot of things to say.

Dear Fester,

I never said there was a conspiracy. I assume that's your interpretation of what I said. You aren't by any chance a lawyer?

Dear Yuyutsu,

I'm really starting to wonder about you. You show all the signs of someone with a guilt complex. Maybe a couple of hours in the confession box with Cardinal Pell will fix you. Just make sure you dress for the occasion.

Is Mise,

Thank You for your kind words and well wishes.

They are appreciated. My surgery is tomorrow
at twelve Noon, so say a little prayer for
me. At the moment I'm as nervous as anything.

Anyway, you asked the question about knowing
what was the truth in this case.

Well, just like the unanimous decision made by
the jury, and by the majority of Judges -
It was because throughout his evidence the
complainant known only to the court as "J" came
across as someone who was telling the truth.

Chief Justice Anne Ferguson and Justice Chris
Maxwell found in their majority judgement that -

"He did not seek to embellish his evidence or tailor it
in a manner favourable to the prosecution."

Nobody found any reason to believe that J was not telling
the truth.

Indeed as many have stated - they would defy anyone who
had met him to find any reason why this young man would
invent this story and to go through what has been a
4 year ordeal through police investigation and a court
case.
