> George Pell: Court quashes cardinal's sexual abuse convictions
> ;7 April 2020 ;
> [...] the High Court of Australia quashed that verdict on Tuesday,
> bringing an immediate end to Cardinal Pell's six-year jail sentence.
> [...]
> Why did his appeal succeed this time?
>
> The cardinal argued that the jury, and previous appeal judges, had
> relied too heavily on the "compelling" evidence of the alleged victim.
> The cleric's lawyers didn't seek to discredit that testimony, but
> rather argued that the jury had not properly considered other
> evidence.
> The High Court agreed, ruling that other testimonies had introduced "a
> reasonable possibility that the offending had not taken place".
> "The jury, acting rationally on the whole of the evidence, ought to
> have entertained a doubt as to the applicant's guilt," said the court
> in its summary judgement.
