A thread about yesterday. In 2018, I attended the final submissions in DPP vs #Pell. The last thing that Pell's defence presented to the jury was this summary of the principle of reasonable doubt:
- It did not happen: Not Guilty
- It possibly happened: Not Guilty
- It probably happened: Not Guilty
- It almost certainly happened, with a reasonable doubt: Not Guilty

When @Milliganreports asked me in my #4Corners interview what I felt when I heard what happened to Paris, I said I felt sad. I was sad that Peter Kehoe was allowed to work with children in the first place. I was sad that Paris was subjected to his monstrous, sickening behaviour.
I was sad that when he turned to his school for help, they turned away, and supported the offender instead. I was sad that all of this happened alongside the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
