Top barrister, Robert Richter QC, has quit Cardinal George Pell's legal team ahead of his sentence and appeal, saying he is too emotional and angry about the guilty verdict handed down by the jury.
Pell was convicted of sexually abusing two choirboys while he was the archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s.Mr Richter said he is still supporting Pell's legal team and believes his client has a strong case to win an appeal against his conviction.
Now he stands on his Morals Hello !!
Conflict of Interest! No Catholic should be defending the lustful and lascivious angel who preyed upon the little children.
latingle The Pope's announcement of the release of WWII papers was a masterstroke at smokescreening the child abuse issue don't you think?
So he is angry that a paedophile was found guilty? Makes me think maybe he is one of the high profile paedophiles who hasn't been caught.
Clear indicator Richter believes Pell is guilty. We all believe he has no People skills and is an entitled, elitist Prig.
90% of the time there is new counsel for an appeal. Appeals should have fresh eyes, not people who are emotionally invested following a long hard fought trial. This is not news, it's just business as usual in the legal profession
. Fake news...
Actors under the spot light Down Under ?! G'Day DonaldJTrumpJr
Nay, just stepped back. Is it smoke & mirrors?!
After his disgusting “vanilla sex” comment there was no other option. He is damaged goods.
After watching Four Corners last night, it really makes me wonder about the secret lives of Pell's apologists - 'vanilla sex assault' indeed!
Hope Pell loses his appeal and gets sentence for 10years or more .
Not much pride left hey?
Sounds like he needs to harden TFU. I like the skeletons in the cupboard theory
Alternate title: Loser quits.
LawSocietyNSW what is the position of the NSW Law Society? What is the standard of conduct required of a QC? Is it acceptable for an officer of the court to behave in this way? Is Mr Richter to face a professional review for his public comments?
Is it just Vanilla anger, or a more serious case of anger?
More FakeNews from TheirABC Brett Walker SC will be taking the lead in the appeal. Richter will still be involved. Here's the truth …
He’s already admitted his client committed a sexual offence. Why was the guilty verdict wrong?
Is our Judicial system so broken that the verdict by twelve Australian Citizens is meaningless to conservative RatPacks...robert ritcher what a miserable barrister you are !
He's going to sell bridges!
'Too emotional and angry about the verdict handed down by the jury' legal speak for, I lost so I'm taking my bat and ball and going home.
Robert Richter's resignation appears to be quite conventional in fact, one might say......vanilla.
His job is done he words stand ... Vanilla sex as punishment for stealing alter wine .... these people are sick !!
Didn’t know Colonel Sanders was a lawyer
Is this because appeals ar not his specialty, so Pell hires a new barrister, whose focus is appeals on technicality’s?
More to cum ..
What? He described George Pell’s sexual abuse of a 13-year-old choirboy as “vanilla sexual penetration”, thereby admitting his client's pedophilia. Now he is too emotional & angry about the guilty verdict handed down by the jury. I hope the Bar/Law Society examines his conduct.
How long can you keep defending the underfencerbull
Imagine how emotional an angry those child sex abuse victims are, given they've been once again told their testimony needs photographic evidence. What child of the 1990s had a camera in their choir gear?
So by saying that he’s angry is he implying that the jury got it wrong; or the judge was incompetent?
It had already been stated that a different lawyer from NSW would lead the appeal. A couple of days ago. That said, I’m surprised he is speaking out like this. It sounds like an attempt to influence the process.
abccanberra Needed to have a vanilla ice cream...
Did he 'quit' or was he sacked?
Blaming the jury? Sounds like grounds for disbarring him.
Perhaps he's compromised. Perhaps he has some skeletons in his closet.
I found this very strange. Never heard a lawyer make similar comments. Normally if they believe in the client to the point where they are emotional about the verdict, then they dig in and relish the opportunity to fight on appeal.
I don’t believe him. I reckon it’s a tactic.
If 'he is too emotional and angry' Imagine how emotional and angry all those children abused by priests
'too emotional and angry'? That's...special.
Whats he thinking ? Lindy Chamberlain ?.
Good. I must say the comments he made aound like he is admitting it happened.... Hope Pell doesn't get out on appeal.
