SR,

Then bring charges against Pell of shielding pedophiles, etc., and without cooking up 'witnesses' either.

Evidence is what counts. Find some and bring it against Pell. Otherwise, end of.

The facts that Steelie is spewing out his usual garbage while pretending to care about victims of child abuse really says it all. Now the best he can do is divert from a corrupt Victorian legal system egged on by a corrupt abc putting a man in gaol while having no reasonable proof of a crime. Your outrage is only matched by the witches making up lies against Kavanaugh and then being caught out.

I wonder how the High Court judges are feeling tonight. (Nothing a bottle or two of gin might fix I suppose.)

I suppose they are asking themselves: What sort of person am I? How could I sanction such machinations? Am I really a Machiavel?

Even Tony Abbott is distancing himself from the outcome. Because he knows what was happening.

I remember He Who Talks Funny Joh Bejelke-Petersen getting off scot free because they were able to get a staunch Joh lover onto the jury panel. Every body knew what had happened but nobody could do anything about it. And the low-life scumbag got off scot free.

In the case of Pell we all know what happened and nobody can do anything about it and like Joh he has got away. But he never got exonerated, he just got his prison term shortened. He is still seen by many as a paedophile who was found guilty by an appointed jury and convicted and imprisoned.

Be very afraid. What we witness with the Pell acquittal, is the legal justice system for sale in Australia.

Judicial outcomes have a simple formula; no money, no justice. All those with any dealings with it, are very quick to recognise the benefits of "ability to pay".

Obviously in this case, it is not Pell on trial but the Catholic behemoth. Best of luck bringing that one down over a couple of youths displaying homosexual tendencies among homosexual priests.

That may sound oversimplified, but it's the closest to the truth I have read among all the above so far.

SR, in all your comments you fail to mention that the first trial of Pell resulted in a hung jury, in fact they were 10-2 in favour of acquittal.
Yet somehow, months later, after a flood of social media and mainstream media campaigns, the next jury did a total reversal and had a unanimous guilty verdict.
Please don’t tell me that the jury wasn’t influenced by media.
I’m not catholic, not even religious and I loathe pedophiles, but I do desperately want to believe in an incorruptible legal system.

“ The first jury trial, in October 2018, resulted in a hung jury, meaning that the jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Witnesses who attended Pell’s trial said that the jury had voted overwhelmingly, 10–2, voted for Pell’s acquittal. Despite this, prosecution decided to go ahead with a second trial. It took place in December 2018. The new jury found Pell guilty of five charges of sexual abuse of minors.”

'I’m not catholic, not even religious and I loathe pedophiles, but I do desperately want to believe in an incorruptible legal system.'

Sorry Nana but the Victoria Police, the abc and the Victorian Premier along with Steelie could not give a stuff about an incorruptible system. They have demonstrated that clearly they are repulsive in pretending to care for child sex victims as a cover.

I have no time for the Catholic church but value truth and justice. Even Flannery who believed Lindy Chamberlain was guilty (due to her 'fundamentalist' belief) had the decency to apologise when the truth come out. These days the regressives how stooped to the lowest of lowest.
