Also worth noting that the complaint only came oit after the Victorian police went trawling for anyone Who would come forward to say Pell had abused them.In your post referring to the Pell case you are drawing a very long bow, I am not saying that he was innocent or guilty, so we just have to accept the courts judgment.
One thing I am certain off is that petty hates will always cover up the truth and distort justice, which is something all decent people should avoid.
But then only decent people are able to live their lives without carrying petty hates.
Yes it is possible that Pell was guilty, but it is also possible that the person making the complaint against Pell, thought that he could cash in on making a complaint against Pell because of his high position, and the fact that other complaints were made against Catholic Clergy.
Considering the fact that the Church has paid out in the vicinity of $2-3 hundred Mill to other victims, and also considering Pell position in the Church, I am sure that if Pell was guilty a settlement offer would have been made to the complaint. BTW if the complaint had received an offer from the Church for a settlement and he refused it, I'm sure he would have told the Prosecutor's about it, and it would have been given in evidence.
im glad I don’t live in Victoria because there are some very weird things that happen in their police and judicial systems.
