The media commentary suggests there’s little chance Cardinal George Pell can get a fair trial. 

Over the past few days we’ve been told it was “important” Pell was last week charged with historical sexual offences.

People in Pell’s home town had been “hurt” and “the world will be watching”.

A report in The Age even claimed this seemed “the inevitable last act in the drama of a man who authored his own tragedy”.

Pardon? Is Pell, Australia’s most senior Catholic churchman, on trial for his own alleged offences or the sins of other priests?

Is this to be a show trial? With the implication he is guilty already?
