We did not experience a doubt: Pell loses appeal

Supplied footage obtained on August 21, 2019 of Chief Justice Anne Ferguson delivering her decision in the appeal for Cardinal George Pell at the Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne. Ferguson says when making their decision the justices did not experience doubt. The Court of Appeal sitting in Victoria rejected the centrepiece of Pell's appeal in a 2-1 decision in Melbourne on Wednesday. Chief Justice Ann Ferguson and President Chris Maxwell were agreed in their decision, while Justice Mark Weinberg said he would have ordered Pell be acquitted. Pell was convicted in December of five charges over the rape of one 13-year-old choirboy and sexual assault of another at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996.
