Australia's High Court hears what may be last appeal of most senior Catholic to be convicted of child sex abuse.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.

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.
