Pell was guilty. Have relations that were personally involved.
At the very least he was a "look the other way" on abuse type. Essentially allowing it to take place on his watch.
He may well have other dirt on others that gives him some sway, but he is not a clean sheet.
He knew of the abuse, he protected the abusers, not the abused. I lost a family member to that abuse. Pell personally knew.
There are literally thousands of local families howling for Pell's blood that were personally affected, and barely a person alive in any of the small towns and cities where the abuse was taking place that do not think Pell is guilty.
i.e. all the LOCAL people believe Pell to be guilty.
The only people who thinks things about the trial are strange are those with no connection to it, or to the locations where the abuse took place.
