Andrew Bolt: Shame on those who joined George Pell witch hunt

Cardinal George Pell is innocent. Shame on all those who persecuted him in one of this nation’s greatest miscarriages of justice.

The High Court judges yesterday spoke with one voice – seven to zero – that Pell should never have been convicted of the improbable rape of two boys in his Cathedral.

But don’t tell me to have faith in our justice system. Yes, Pell was yesterday free. But this witch hunt ruined his reputation, destroyed his career and robbed him of 404 days of freedom.

So shame on the state institutions who tried so destroy him – a noted conservative and the scapegoat for his church.

Shame on Victoria Police, which trawled for complaints against Pell, even issuing public appeals for “victims”, in a process known to be likely to encourage false memories, false claims and hopes for compensation.

Shame on the ABC, our national broadcaster, for hysterically pushing damaging claims against Pell that all turned out to be too absurd to lead to charges, or too flimsy to go to trial, or, now, too weak to survive an appeal.

Shame on Melbourne University Press for publishing a bestseller on Pell by ABC journalist Louise Milligan which wildly accused Pell of many horrible crimes against children, not one of which has stood up to legal scrutiny, but fed the get-Pell hysteria during his trial.

Shame also on the Victorian Court of Appeal, which in a two-to-one decision rejected Pell’s initial appeal, earning it a stinging criticism from the High Court that the two majority judges “failed to engage” properly with evidence in Pell’s defence.

There is enough of it in the original post.

May the LORD God visit justice for those unjustly accused and convicted of crimes they did not commit.

Thanks.

Another key bit of information is the police advertised for victims.

I have just posted another you may find interesting.

The case against George Pell was misguided, unreasonable and vile

Greg Craven was interviewed by the ABC (Australia's government funded public broadcaster - required by its charter to be balanced and neutral, but in fact, rabidly left wing) and that interview is worth watching as he rips into them. I suspect they regret asking him on.

On YouTube - hope it plays outside Australia.

Yikes...Mr Craven said that the ABC was part of the lynch mob (my words) against the Cardinal! Sounds as if he might have listened to one or two of Trump’s press conferences with our “progressive” networks.
