This was not one man’s word against another. In a criminal trial the allegation must be proved and without compelling corroboration it is simply impossible.
In the court of public opinion Pell would get life, which is why judges are appointed and not elected – to do their job without being swayed by external noise.Pell presided over a church that failed dismally to protect the vulnerable, covered up crimes and shifted paedophile priests to areas where they could continue to offend. Internationally the Catholic Church destroyed the lives of thousands of its own followers. If there is a God, then they will be called to account.
The standard has always been, is a conviction more likely than not? The standard has never been that the victim has a right to their day in court, or let’s give it a run and see how it goes.
It’s one word against another - surely that equals doubt.... the cost to attain justice is the joke & only Pell types can achieve that without being bankrupted - as I know .....
Stop comparing him to an innocent mother whose life was destroyed because nobody wanted to blame the dingo. Oh, wait. There's more of a connection than I thought. Just he's the dingo.
Again local media ignores pertinent facts- VicPol riddled with Calabrian Ndrangheta (according to The Age) as are Vatican finances. It was Pell's job to root them out. Italian newspapers reported that Ndrangheta said 'Pell must go' as he got too close. And he did go.
Does anyone know if the justices are religious? Just curious. No connection I'm sure. 🙂
thanks George for getting off you have just fucked any belief in the Catholic Church
It was Ayers Rock in 1980.
Criminal justice system Is flawed, do we have a system that allows 3 strikes and you’re out ! Judges are humans with flaws, for how can the possible not the probable allow for a quashed conviction,surely by ordering another trial would have been the logical conclusion
'This was not one man’s word against another. In a criminal trial the allegation must be proved and without compelling corroboration it is simply impossible'. This is NOT what the judgment held
Lindy was innocent. A dingo DID take her baby
Lindy Chamberlain was innocent but Pell is not.
The only thing these two cases had in common was that religion was a factor. It's completely inappropriate, to compare a case where a woman was inappropriately punished because of religious discrimination, to a paedophilia allegation by multiple victims. Leave Lindy out of this.
Why no mention of this on your facebook site. Is it because you have always been against Pell and this news is devastating to you theage?.
He has Not been Found innocent. More Victims come forward.
2 out of 3 courts say he is guilty, back to Italy to pay for his crime.
Even if he’s not guilty he still supports a institution that has ruined the lives of innocent children....burn in hell !
Dirty filthy priest who will be remembered for his personal acts of depravity, the support and protection of other disgusting priests and his blatant lies to the world. Hell awaits you Pell 🤬
They look after their own.
I am no fan of Pell but I am less a fan or irrational, Leftist, and actually bigoted individuals and groups.
Harvey’s Weinstein keep the faith there is hope for you “ There is no justice in this world only the law :
Who are the most attacked individuals re Left media and Humanities's Depts?: white, European males, Christian, Roman Catholic, and with powerful positions. Pell and Captain Cook fit the bill.
7-0 ruling is pretty significant. Unless there is some bigger “conspiracy” which even includes the High Court, why is it so hard for people to stop and think “maybe I was wrong. Maybe I got caught up in the hype. Maybe an innocent man did go to prison”?
Spot on.
Polarised but not an even split. In the court of public opinion Pell will get life. Most are disgusted that yet another abuser has escaped justice because of the lack of witnesses. Was not found innocent, simply impossible to prove because of said lack
1 % defending him the other 99% disgusted he has gotten away with his child abusing and covering up crimes. paedophilePell
Guilty as SIN. Old boys club. Most Pedophiles as well. Your not one till you get caught.
Ffs did you have to show this monster's face? I was avoiding grotesque today
7-0 was a massive smash-up.
Evidence skewed both times
