Pell's lawyers are hoping to convince the High Court the jury made a mistake, and his conviction should be quashed.

I'd say the jury don't feel they made a mistake.....it seems to be pretty weak grounds to take to the HC...  this is Pell's 2nd attempt and it puts his victims through hell again

that article says . Pell's lawyer Robert Richter was so shocked by the result he could not go on, leaving the subsequent appeals to barristers Ruth Shann and Bret Walker

the real reason behind Robert Richter quitting the case was his statement here

Maybe Andrew Bolt & Gerard Henderson could put in a good word for him.

Pell, who remains Australia's most senior Catholic clergyman, was hoping the High Court would free him from prison.

But he will have to wait for the verdict, with the court reserving its decision.

The delay could take several months, as the High Court in Canberra considers the appeal.

Two new accusers say George Pell abused them when they were boys in the 1970s

i bet george was thinking my lawyers can get over this one guy and get me out of here, until today

I am bit surprised that this can be screened today, before the final decision is made.  These allegation have been made years ago, as well as many others, by other boys as well as a father of a boy who walked into changing room at a pool an saw Pell stark naked facing 2 boys in quite inapropriate way.
