There will be no crowds of victims' advocates or the Cardinal's supporters when the High Court hands down its decision on George Pell's final bid for freedom.
The divisive case has drawn international media giants like CNN and the BBC to Australian shores, with a large police presence guiding the Cardinal safely through throngs of camera crews and reporters.
However it is also possible the judges are in unanimous agreement to refuse special leave to appeal and throw the case out, or that they are in agreement that jury verdicts are sacrosanct. Over time, the High Court has developed law guiding appeal courts to support the jury's position in the trial process, setting down the rules that stipulate it is trial by jury and not trial by Court of Appeal.
In that case the court delivered a ruling on the general principle, and then ruled on whether it accepted the two appeals or not.
