A defendant is innocent until proven guilty. The High Court ruled that he wasn't proven to be guilty.
Do u think he did do it. Why?
As I said earlier, innocence and guilt are legal determinations, not statements of actuality. Being found innocent doesn’t mean you didn’t commit the act of which you’ve been accused, and being found guilty doesn’t mean you committed the act. What they mean is that judges and juries have evaluated the evidence and determined whether or not it is
sufficient to convict you.
Based on the track record of the Church on this matter, I’m inclined to believe that Pell did what he is accused of.
