My problem with this is that the outcome is that for this type of crime, when it does not get reported until years later and whatever evidence there might have been has been obscured by time, we have decided there can be no conviction. Even when it did occur. And that is a broken system.
We live in reality, no one has omnipresence. It's like asking two boys who eat the last cookie 1 week after the event. If both say no and both blame each other so how is justice to be carried out?
Or are you to assume that the boy who always hang out with unsavory people automatically have the highest probability and guilty by that reason alone. Is this justice?
Please don't suddenly divert from Pell to the other powerful individuals in general.
The court overturned the conviction. We have to accept it else the whole institution of justice crumbles. If all verdicts are miscarriages if they don't conform to our preference then why a court to begin with? Just tar and feather the guy and be done with it. Run him out of town. Everyone will feel better. Because feeling better = justice served.
