i love it how some accuse others of being let wing loonies simply because they disagree about the High Court saving Pell from prison.
Did you people not watch the many documentaries where witness after witness highlighted Pell's behaviour. Posted by Chris Lewis, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 2:04:20 PM

The original significance of the blindfold on the
statue of justice according to the web - was that the judicial system was tolerating abuse, or ignorance of aspects of the law. However, we're told that in modern times the blindfold is supposed to represent - impartiality and objectivity of the law which is NOT supposed to let outside factors such as - position, wealth, or fame, influence its decisions. The key words here are NOT SUPPOSED. Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 2:24:23 PM

Dear Shadow Minister,
You have said of Pell. “Personally, I believe that he is most probably guilty, however, that is my opinion only.” Yet you say of a jury who spent days directly listening to the evidence of Pell's victim that “It is not the first time by any means that a jury has got it wrong and judgements based on emotion and not fact are often wrong. “ Dear Graham Y, It would be interesting to know how many guilty verdicts survive an assessment by the High Court. The legal profession are at pains to qualify any assertion of fact and that propensity is evident the further up the tree we go. In other words the more removed they are from the jury the more it is pure legalese which decides the day. I'm not sure how much this reflects a person's guilt, but I agree it provides protection to the few truly innocent even if in a messy fashion. Better to let ten guilty men walk free and all that. The sign at the Gosford Anglican Church did a good job of recognising what many victims may be feeling right now. It reads; Survivors We Hear You, We Believe You, We love you. Further the post says; Our hearts go out to survivors of clerical child sexual abuse today. Good Friday has come early for you, and Easter seems a long way off. Take heart, this is not the end of it for #Pell. “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”MLK http://www.facebook.com/anggos/photos/a.120959381268037/3148125085218103 Posted by SteeleRedux, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 2:30:49 PM

Chris Lewis,
Pell was found guilty and convicted of being a paedophile and has served time in prison as a criminal. He has now been released from prison and is now free like every ex-con to return to a life in the community. I am sure the Roman Catholic community will embrace him and welcome his return with open arms. Posted by Mr Opinion, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 2:33:00 PM
