Says you 

Their reputation has taken another huge blow and the Cardinal walks free

Nah there rep is fine from OJ Pell getting off on a technicality

And th cries of phoney Christian martyrs everywhere fall on deaf ears

We all know (well I hope we do) that a not guilty finding in court, an acquittal, or overturning of a conviction, does not mean the person is innocent.

From a legal standpoint they may be, but nit necessarily in reality (right, OJ?).

There are many factors that can influence a judge, a jury, or lawyers. And there are factors that can influence a conviction or sentence.

Unfortunately, some of these factors are wealth; fame, and influence if the individual or the organisation they belong to.

Now my mother and her sisters are firmly in the camp of "Pell can't do wrong because he's a man of god" camp.  They will bend over backwards to defend him (though aunt Sally is more likely to bend forward).

And I think it's ironic that the term "witch hunt" is being used to defend someone from the organisation that invented them...

Yup OJ Pell
