There is no if, the verdict is guilty. The appeal is about procedural not substantive law.
Why does your side do this? Why is it that you feel you must enter our minds and control our thoughts. Why must we word things in a particular way to satisfy you. You wonder why more and more people consider the progressive side of politics increasingly insufferable. It's because you are. You asked a question. I answered it. In good faith.
I was abbreviating. "In circumstances where the verdict is guilty, the sentence must follow the verdict." Is that better?
Your second sentence makes no sense with respect to the Pell case. It reads like some lefty academic trying to bluff his way through a conversation sounding clever.
The guilty finding is being appealed. On its merits. The appellant is arguing that no jury could have come to that verdict beyond a reasonable doubt.
