June 5 and 6 have been set down as the days the disgraced cardinal can challenge his conviction in the state's highest court. The appeal, likely to be heard by three judges, will be heard days before Pell's 78th birthday.Pell, 77, is in jail and will be sentenced next Wednesday after he was last year found guilty of orally raping one boy and molesting the other in St Patrick's Cathedral in East Melbourne in December 1996.
Mr Richter said he did not have “sufficient objectivity at this stage” to participate in the appeal. “I am very angry about the verdict,” he said, “because it was perverse.” Mr Richter said Cardinal Pell, who has been convicted of five counts of sexually assaulting two choirboys in 1996 and 1997, would be “better served by someone more detached”.A County Court jury in December found Pell guilty of one charge of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and four of committing an indecent act, with or in the presence of a child under 16. Those verdicts came in a retrial, after a first jury was discharged after it was unable to reach a verdict.
Time served. Oh well that’s ok. Keep him in longer in case his conviction is overturned.

Good.
Would that be the same for all convicted criminals?
😂😂😂😂
In the meantime more allegations will surface. His defenders will end up with egg on their faces.
Oh well. No big deal.
Do they offer confession in jail?
You misspelled “only” pell
Hope appeal takes at least 6 months. 3 months is very light in considering the victims suffering
Oh well. Too bad. So sad.
Ask Tampa John Howard and Sir Tony Abbott to lend a hand
Richt or wrong 🤷♂️
