Pell was convicted by the unanimous verdict of a Victoria state County Court jury in December 2018 after a jury in an earlier trial was deadlocked. A Victoria Court of Appeal rejected his appeal against his convictions in a 2-1 majority decision in August last year. “Impossible was not something we had to prove, but if we showed it, then obviously there's a reasonable doubt,” he added.
Walker said Pell did not have a five or six minute opportunity required to molest the boys in the sacristy before altar servers and clerics walked in. A group of Pell supporters tried to block Advocate from speaking to reporters, yelling for Pell to be forgiven.
