Pell’s lawyers are pushing for a retrial - or for the cardinal’s child sex convictions to be set aside.
The court heard there will be two victim impact statements tendered as Pell sat emotionless in the dock flanked by three uniformed officers. Mr Richter said the appeal application was made on three grounds, firstly that the verdict of the jury was unreasonable and contrary to evidence. Pell, who has been on bail throughout the proceedings, may be taken into custody when he returns to the County Court of Victoria on Wednesday.

The case for and against: What the jury was told in George Pell's trialGeorge Pell's first trial ended when a jury could not reach a verdict. His second trial found him guilty. Here are the key points the juries had to consider. I am hearing the first trial was a hung jury 10-2 in his favour. No new evidence for the second trial which resulted in a 12-0 verdict against him. That’s perplexing. Can you check this out. Is Gerard Henderson going to join Andrew Bolt and Miranda divine in defending the pedophile? Not much of a case....

The case for and against: What the jury was told in George Pell's trialGeorge Pell's first trial ended when a jury could not reach a verdict. His second trial found him guilty. Here are the key points the juries had to consider. If he is found innocent, the Age is over. Bankruptcy is the least expected for what you did. Reporting it cryptic, going against a court suppression order. Tell that to the innocent children he forced anal penetration on. In fact a lot of his victims have committed suicide. I am starting to have doubt after listening to Frank Brennan and others. Pell was hated by many who would like to get rid of him. Talk about the Inquisition and the Borgias!!!! And don't forget the Medicis.

Inside George Pell's trial: The victim's words, the lawyers' argumentsAs the trial unfolded, Pell sat in the dock usually writing on a legal pad, dressed in a black jacket and clerical collar. Sometimes he wore a jumper bearing the logo of the MCG. The Catholic church does not follow Scripture - a Pastor should be married. Celibacy is not natural and causes much trouble - the arrogant Roman Church won't listen. It's more a business than a church. However, on the basis of the evidence - the jury made the wrong decision.

What you need to know about George Pell's child abuse caseGeorge Pell's conviction for child sex offences is one of biggest court decisions in Australia in recent years, and it's likely to have some major ramifications around the world. Seems from this article that Pell was convicted with no evidence in a highly unlikely allegation. If so, that is unjust. Don’t need to know anything- heard enough in the media- let the courts handle it There is too much detail of the acts being given on tv. There are young children that watch abc news since it is the best news in Australia. Think editors and producers!

How will the Vatican respond to George Pell's guilty verdict?George Pell is unlikely to immediately lose his title of cardinal in the Catholic Church despite being found guilty of child sex abuse, a leading Vatican commentator predicts. NickdMiller What the actual fuck? He should be excommunicated NickdMiller I hope he suffers physically and mentally for a number of years, equal to the pain he's caused his 'victims' and their families. NickdMiller Well cardinal to cardinal sin, noun to a verb. No he should never lose his title

'We trusted someone we should have feared'A man who as a choirboy was sexually abused by Cardinal George Pell has spoken after his guilty verdict was revealed to the world. In 1999, two of your journalists claimed to have seen evidence of the ritual abuse of children. They interviewed six mothers whose children had disclosed experiences of organised abuse in New South Wales. The children's disclosures were corroborating, I wonder what you will say if Pells conviction on your allegation is over-turned.
