It didn't take Victoria police very long to start their witch hunt again... 
I wish they would put as much resources into street crime

If there wasn't new evidence there shouldn't have been an appeal, case dismissed.
That of course would require recalling him to prison.

That's not how it works in Australia. 
The appeal was granted on the grounds that the jury's decision was unreasonable

The charges Pell was acquitted of were supposed to have happened in the 90s after Ballarat

I think people are dirty from when he was the leader in Ballarat when all those pedophile cases came out

You'd prefer punitive law enforcement resources be shunted to low income and minority communities rather than spent on the known apologist of a known child sex ring, Agno?

...really?

Well. Aren't you a real piece of shit.

Here we go... LoL... I know you'd rather see death to all religious people. Calm your irrational anti-theist temper mate
He's a "known apologist of a known child sex ring" in your diluted imagination, driven by bitterness and hate

In reality he has been found not guilty of any crime by the Aussie justice system.
