Sky News host Alan Jones says the High Court’s “unanimous decision repudiating years of vile attacks against Cardinal George Pell” was a “stunning intervention in the most controversial court case since Lindy Chamberlain”.

Mr Jones said the unity displayed by the High Court judges in the seven-nil ruling “prompts the question of how Victoria’s Criminal Justice system allowed the case against Pell to proceed so far”. According to the High Court, there was "a significant possibility that an innocent person had been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof,” Mr Jones said.

Mr Jones said the Victorian Bar President, Matt Collins, described the initial conviction of Pell as "highly unusual", having been made on behalf of a victim who had never reported abuse. After the High Court decision, Cardinal Pell issued a statement saying “my trial was not a referendum on the Catholic Church, nor a referendum on how church authorities in Australia dealt with the crime of paedophilia in the church”.

** Watch the movie American Psycho, and at the end of the movie you will see and understand why the main character got away with his murderous activities.

He may not be guilty but one thing is for sure he ain't innocent

Watch the movie American Psycho, and at the end of the movie you will see and understand why the main character got away with his murderous activities.

There are more complaints coming for Pell, more civil action. He’s far from innocent. If he didn’t know about the sexual abuse by priests that he moved around so much then he is either comepry guilty of allowing abuse or completely incompetent.

Funny that, a priest had a bit of a slipup this afternoon admitting witness J was assaulted by a country priest. Im sure Skynews are frantically erasing the interview.

Watch the movie American Psycho, and at the end you will see and understand why the main character got away with his murderous activities.

Evidence against Pell at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse ws irrefutable. But I'm not surprised these right wing mongrels feel their entitlement extends to raping young boys.

Jones is also a filthy rock spider.

He has not been found innocent, he had the verdict quashed on a technicality. The court statement made this clear, they said there was a chance he “might be innocent” so they vacated the jury decision

There’s plenty more coming.

One pedophile defending another, Jones should be in jail.

If he is found innocent he is!! Accept the verdict Witch hunters put down your forks

Stopped the lynch mob (for this case)

He wasn't' found innocent is my understanding.

Doesn't matter what he says. Person who denied was a junkie. junkies are delusional. Catholic church is known world wide to do bad things to kids. Too much of it happens . Even if not guilty of this he is guilty of scamming people out of money to get himself rich which is a crime

Of course he will say that !! He gets paid $$$ to say stuff like that

Alan Jones is a sick individual

Can you imagine. More then 1 year with this kind of accusation in prison? When hi did nothing! I’m sorry for him.

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

Which toilet was he broadcasting from?
