There's always going to be some portion of supporters who live permanently in denial, but the conviction came as a surprise to a lot of experts and more than a few believe his appeal stands a good chance of success on the basis that the evidence didn't support the verdict. The below article provides a pretty good summary:I would have expected calls of excommunication. Yet they're doubling down on him being persecuted, which almost draws comparisons with their favourite mascot.

That doesn't mean he's innocent, but I am not surprised that the verdict hasn't put an end to the discussion. I doubt the appeal will either. At the end of the day, this case boiled down to one man's word against another's. People are always going to pick who they want to believe.
Nah, pretty in line with expectations. Peter Kidd is a very, very good jurist.Lucky not to get more
