Lawyers for Cardinal George Pell have already filed supplementary material with the High Court amid hopes of a quick decision in his appeal. Source: The Herald-Sun.
The Cardinal’s legal team were asked to file a short note on the evidentiary relationship between the two separate incidents of abuse of which he was convicted.
The note was filed on Friday night following the second and final day of his appeal.
Sources close to the case doubt the issue will impact the decision in any significant way.
Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, QC, now has until early next week to file a response to the note.
The full bench of the High Court has reserved its decision to be handed down at a later date.
