I think Judge Kidd has been merciful to George Pell

Considering the fact that one of his victim's is dead, with little doubt that his drug induced death started years ago, when he was 13 years old and was abused by Pell

I think 3years 8 months is tiny in comparison to the effect Pell has had on his victims

"The other victim died several years ago from a heroin overdose. He never reported the abuse and denied anything happened when he was asked by his mother."

Maybe he was too embarrassed to tell his mother, especially if they were a very religious catholic family!

Maybe he wasn't abused.

Let's look at what we know:

- never reported any abuse

- denied anything happened when questioned by his mother

Hmmm Undecided

And we know that abusers often don't come forward and deny out of fear, shame, guilt.

My statement the othert day stands you're looking for any little excuse.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

I'm not looking for excuses at all. I have no horse in this race.

I'm merely stating a fact: it's possible he wasn't abused.

It is interesting to learn that Pell did not take the stand in his defense during the trial. He did not present for cross-examination against the testimony of "J".

That tells me that the defence were worried.

Very interesting indeed.

I wonder if any of the jury are Catholics?

just imagine if longprong was a juror ! How f.cled would that be Sad

Maybe the first trial stuffed up because there was a biased Catholic on the jury?
There's a lot they're not telling us.
We know nothing about the jury -
absolutely nothing.

I dont suppose Rumpole was on the jury?

Just a thought! Grin

We don't know how the jury was selected.
What if someone said -

"I'm a Catholic and I could never convict the beloved Cardinal Pell?"

Would they be excluded?

One of the jury members was a church pastor.

Pell didn't challenge any of the jurors.

I read the news today, oh boy.

"Pell had the right to challenge up to three jurors as their numbers were pulled out of a ballot box and their occupations read out.

"He challenged none.

"Nine men and five women were sworn in, among them a church pastor, a mathematician, a chef and a schoolteacher."

Okay......I can't remember whether the Jury Panel lists we were given in Qld included occupations. Name and address definitely.

Too bad you were at golf Aussie, then you wouldn't be guilty of posting the mindless crap that you have, which is par for the course for you on this subject. Your prejudiced Catholic mindset has your brain on tilt

Justice Kidd's comments clearly illustrated that Cardinal George Pell was guilty of carrying out horrific acts which Kidd described in chapter and verse

No doubt you the King of Queensland Solicitors, will have a problem with that but Justice Kidd's summation was heavy on facts and depending on what accent of the trial he was commenting on, in what I thought was a brilliant summation on everything ,in favour and not in favour of Pell, depending on what aspect of the trial he was commenting on

Kidd's summation truly reflected the balance of the scales of Justice and he displayed his absolute independence as Judge

Too bad you were busy chasing a little white pill around some grass to view it ..You might have learned something

I am a Calathumpian, formerly a Presbyterian. Not a Catholic. I have been in Court for literally many hundreds of sentencings, and they all are as you describe.....well, some Magistrates maybe not. That is par for the legal course. Legal grist for the mill. Mundane and not exceptional. Nothing magical about it all.

Why are you suggesting that Pell will appeal that sentence?

So you watched it? Did you have someone record it for you? Your last comment seems to indicate you viewed it?

Yes, my opinion is that an appeal will be launched, nothing more, it's just an opinion,

I have followed this trial just like the majority of Australians. This was an incredibly landmark trial. The whole world was watching. I believe the first time a Catholic Cardinal has ever been put on trial

Personally I think Judge Kidd did Australia proud with his thoughtful and intelligent sentencing comments

Do you honestly assert that what Pell was given is manifestly excessive? "Landmark?" Bullshit. Novel...in that a Cardinal was the Accused....yes, but landmark? Absurd.

Stop worrying about him ... think of the other paedophiles out there who don't have anything to do with the Catholic Church. They are everywhere ... raping little kids, or thinking about it ... sick, sick, sick.

I have said this before...one victim took to heavy drug use shortly after the time of the offence, he was 13 years old at the time. There is an obvious correlation between these scenarios

This victim died of a drug overdose at 30. His sister has stated that he took to drug use directly following his sexual abuse and that it culminated in him dying from an overdose

The other victim stated that the episode ruined his life

I think that 3 year and 8 months on the bottom is a tiny sentence for ruining 2 lives
