This bloke has realised that his ‘plain vanilla sex’ comment has put him in the same category as his paedophile client. He now doesn’t want to be forever known as the best lawyer that money could buy who lost this ground breaking case. Rot in prison pell you paedophile
It must be good to have unlimited funds and when one Solicitor fails, we'll just get another one. But then again the Catholic Church is one of the riches Companies in the World!
He will get off. The likes of AlanJones TonyAbbottMHR theboltreport and johnhoward will see to that sadly.
Pell SHOULD BE GIVEN A 10 to 15 Year Jail Term. The Judge should give a real Message to Others
He Knows he is GUILTY AS SIN
This is kind of old news. It’s been previously reported that Brett Walker has taken over the appeals process.
we can't even trust SBS? this report is FALSE and you need to apologize. I'm happy to pay taxes to support SBS but not when they parrot blatant l;lies. Apologize NOW.
A strategy to minimise the comments and to build a rhetoric that the jury is incompetent. Richter is literally attempting to undermine the judicial system to free a child rapist. How VictorianBar hasn’t sacked him yet is beyond belief.
May be he is trying to avoid going to hell when he dies
What happened to the legal conspiracy’s “no win no pay” that they promote everywhere. Bet he’s charging Pell when he lost!
Apparently not. I can reveal that headline writers have excelled themselves in providing totally misleading clickbait.
Obviously he realises his association with the Pell appeal is legal l poison after his vanilla comment.

I believe the correct term is Convicted Paedophile, rather than disgraced cleric.
The smell of fear
This be a slap in the face of the progressive rabid atheists & perhaps advocacy for changes to the flawed jury system that's been perverted, despoiled & violated by senseless prejudiced individuals along with rampant disregard for truth honesty & intellectual rigour by the msm.
Very good sign for us that want the Rockspider, locked up!! ,
The pedophile should not be represented by anyone and let him get the harshest punishment there is.
Rats fleeing the ship jumping of sinking ship
I wonder why ?
Good he was an absolute disgrace
Did he quit? Or was he dismissed for that atrocious ‘vanilla’ comment?
“I am very angry about the verdict,” he has been quoted as saying, “because it was perverse”. You know what's perverse? Orally raping a kid. I think Mr. OnlyVanilla needs to get his damn morals in order.
He’s made enough money with this atrocity! Probably the pope already paid him from tax payer money
Well he's walking away with millions, poor little man. Maybe he'll consider giving it to charities that support victims of sexual abuse? And calling the judgement 'perverse'? The only thing that is perverse is a lawyer talking about 'vanilla' rape of children.
Prison cells are too small for two egos, it seems
Reads more like he lost and is having a tizzy fit.

Please stop ABC, you know well you are only trying to incite hate & rage, you used to be better than this, a long long time ago.

Only feel sorry because of the public outcry, not based on moral compass. pell He is a lawyer and they live by the use of our language.

How Robert Richter's 'vanilla' comment sparked outrage and why he said itGeorge Pell's lawyer sparked outrage when he characterised his criminal offences as no more than a plain vanilla sexual penetration case, but one legal expert says this was just ranking the crime in the context of bog standard courtroom plea discussions. Time we started treating paid mouthpieces with the contempt they deserve... Vanilla is a term to heterosexual culture... The closest icecream flavour I can relate this act to is rocky road... it would appear that vanilla comment was aimed at the media designed to outrage the community and form basis for appeal about unfair trial claiming undercurrent of hysteria nice try richter but no cigar
