Pell is seeking leave to appeal the state of Victoria’s Court of Appeal ruling which upheld his conviction on five charges of abusing the boys at St Patrick’s Cathedral in the late 1990s when he was archbishop of Melbourne. Pell’s lawyers have appealed that decision on two grounds tied to whether it was possible for Pell to have committed the offences in light of all the activity that typically went on after mass in the area of the cathedral where they were said to have occurred.
Pell’s lawyers also said the majority was wrong in their conclusion that the verdicts were not unreasonable.
