ACU Vice-Chancellor Gregory Craven says the lawsuit against George Pell was in reality “an atrocious and deeply frightening” campaign run by “The Victorian Police and the ABC”. On Tuesday, sex abuse convictions laid against Cardinal Pell were overturned by Australia’s highest court after he spent 405 days in jail following an initial ruling which found him guilty in 2018.
Mr Craven said for months the Victorian police would give interviews speaking of “charges that would be made” and referring complainants as victims. "Just by coincidence these would be made at exactly the point when the ABC would be ready to breathlessly report them in the most extraordinary way,” he said. Mr Craven said “the coercive power of the state was engaged in a very cosy deal with the national broadcaster".
marionh94109394 That's an interesting hill to die on; 'Sky news, pro-paedophilia' Try running that as a headline, and be honest about it for once.

You need a lot more than the Victorian police and the ABC to create such a miscarriage of justice. The scary part of it is: if there is any innocent person unfairly jailed in Victoria that doesn't have the money to go all the way to the High Court of Australia he will rot in jail
Shame on Sky News you are now a low-life disgrace! What happened today only proves it's not what you know, it's indeed who you know in high places and we all know who they are... 2 former Australian PM's, just like the Clintons who helped and covered-up for pedofiles in America
If that was true then there would be legal considerations...lets see what happens if anything

To some Cardinal George Pell 'will always be guilty' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the High Court's decision to unanimously quash the conviction of George Pell is not the end of the controversy because 'so many have invested so much in their campaign against him' for crimes others have committed.\n\nOn Tuesday, Carinal Pell had his sexual abuse conviction overturned by Australia's highest court after having spent 405 days in jail following an initial ruling which had found him guilty in 2018.\n\nMs Credlin said 'it was always going to be hard to find an unbiased jury' given the 'real failings of the church in coming to grips with the sexual abuse epidemic' and Cardinal Pell's 'seeming lack of empathy' when it comes to the plight of victims.\n\n'To some, Pell will always be guilty, regardless of the High Court's judgment, because all priests are suspect, and every complainant is to be believed,' she said.\n\nMs Credlin said following the initial guilty verdict in 2018 her faith in the two institutions which had 'done so much to shape my life' - the Catholic Church, and the law - had been seriously challenged.\n\n'After today's judgment, for me at least, the High Court has pretty much restored my faith in our legal system'.\n\nMs Credlin said as difficult, 'dispiriting and gut-wrenching' as the historical sexual abuse crimes which have been committed across the world including Australia may be, it 'cannot justify in the words of the High Court today 'a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof''.\n\nImage: AP Cretin has never seen a conservative she won't defend. Quashing the conviction does not equal 'innocent'.... It came about because there was doubt from the legal perspective ....Pell's day of reckoning will come when he faces his 'God' Excellent response Credlin, WELL DONE

Cardinal Pell 'became the scapegoat for his church': Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaCardinal George Pell “should never have been convicted” with his persecution representing “one of this nation’s greatest miscarriages of justice,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nMr Bolt said a “witch hunt” has permeated facets of society against the Cardinal, which has subsequently “ruined his reputation, destroyed his brilliant career” and “robbed him” of his freedom. \n\nOn Tuesday, Cardinal Pell had his sexual abuse conviction overturned by Australia’s highest court, in a unanimous decision, after having spent 405 days in jail following an initial ruling which had found him guilty in 2018.\n\nCardinal Pell had come out and said he holds “no ill will toward my accuser” adding “I don’t want my acquittal to add to the hurt and bitterness so many feel; there is certainly hurt and bitterness enough”.\n\nMr Bolt said shame should fall upon the “state institutions which tried so destroy a man loathed by the Left as a conservative and chosen by the mob to be the scapegoat for his church.”\n\n“Shame also on the ABC, our national broadcaster, for hysterically promoting damaging claims against Pell that all turned out to be too absurd to lead to charges, or too flimsy to go to trial, or now, too weak to survive an appeal”. \n\nMr Bolt also showed a recreation of the alleged timeline of events which were levelled against Cardinal Pell saying, “neither Pell, the supposed criminal, nor his victims could have been at the scene of the crime at the only time the crime was possible”. \n\n“It seems the High Court agreed”.\n\nImage: AP Fool! What’s Bolts view on admissions Pell made during the RC about assisting pedo priests?
