The legal team for Cardinal George Pell laid out their case for appeal before Australia’s High Court Wednesday.

Cardinal Pell is seeking to appeal the 2-1 split decision of the Court of Appeal in Victoria to sustain his 2018 conviction on five counts of child sexual abuse over two separate instances.
