The stunning High Court intervention in Australia’s most contentious case of alleged clerical abuse will reverberate from Canberra to the Vatican and among abuse survivors in Melbourne and Ballarat.Jason South
"The jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to have entertained a doubt as to the applicant's guilt with respect to each of the offences for which he was convicted,'' the court said in a summary judgment published on Tuesday morning.The court found there was a "significant possibility" an innocent person has been convicted.
The end of criminal proceedings clears the way for the federal government to publish previously redacted royal commission findings into Cardinal Pell’s conduct in Ballarat, a centre of historic church sex abuse.The High Court decision does not repudiate Cardinal Pell’s accuser, a former choirboy who testified that he and a friend were indecently assaulted more than 20 years ago by Cardinal Pell, who was archbishop of Melbourne, at St Patrick’s Cathedral.
Rather, the decision exposes flaws within the rest of the prosecution case; evidence given by other witnesses who were at St Patrick’s at the time which raised doubts about whether Cardinal Pell had an opportunity to commit the crimes he was accused of.

He’ll have time to look at the “Revelation” series.
Justice system is flawed, take the statement from the “High as almighty “ court, there is a possibility (not a probability ) big difference. No clarification that the victims were not assaulted, the hierarchical system of law found Pell’s position more comfortable than the victim
If there’s a hell, there’s a warm spot for you George. I can only feel for the victims.
There’s also a “significant possibility” that a guilty one hasn’t been😡
Kangaroo 🦘 Court ! A rock spider 🕷 roams our streets once more. Pell
April 1st was a week ago, how long is this twisted fuck actually staying in prison for?
So you can get away with raping kids if you’re friends with Tony Abbott.
The victims in my prayers. God will judge him. Hell
Yes Pell’s innocent victims have been convicted. He destroyed their lives with his perverse and abhorrent sexual abuse and cover ups. I hope he never gets a moments peace,and when he is released today The Karma Bus better be there to pick up this unrepentant POS!
worse pedos in higher places then Pell, the humiliation is punishment in its self, I wonder who he will start with defamation proceedings?
The incompetent Victorian public servant lawyers should have charged Pell with Misprision of Felony. 2nd rate lawyers get jobs in the public service since the top law firms will not touch them.
Just to prove their decision is genuine...would any of the high court be prepared to leave their 5 year old son alone with Pell for a week or 2?
Bring on the civil cases
This acquittal is a blight on the Australian nation The people should not stand for it. Nothing short of diabolical. The Australian people should not stand for this !
Based on a process that opportunity witnesses have said he usually follows, but can’t categorically state on a given day he did. Apparently.
George Pell is a festering disease.
Corruption tell that to the victims
The Illuminati at work
Guess it’s pretty hard to convict rich pedophiles with mates in government.
