Dozens of journalists have been threatened with a charge of contempt of court – and could face possible jail terms – over reporting of the Cardinal George Pell trial.
Victoria’s director of public prosecutions, Kerri Judd QC, has written to as many as 50 individual publishers, editors, broadcasters, reporters and subeditors at the media giants News Corp Australia, Nine Entertainment, the ABC and several smaller publications, accusing them of breaching a nationwide suppression order imposed during the case.
Show-cause notices were sent to the journalists in early February saying that they had potentially interfered with the administration of justice and scandalised the court.
The ones who do not have a strong enough explanation could be prosecuted.
Appeal lodged.
Pell’s barrister, Robert Richter QC, filed an appeal against the conviction on 21 February. That could obviously take some time to play out, but the appeal is based on the following grounds:
1 - The verdict of the jury was unreasonable, in contrary to the evidence before them
The Victorian legal system is such a joke.
I’m talking about the suppression orders and 70 odd journos at risk of prosecution.
Is he a no win no fee lawyer type?How is it that Robert Richter always seems to be the one defending the worst scum in Victoria?
Hell no. He'll be getting at least another 2 holiday homes at the Church's expense.Is he a no win no fee lawyer type?

Doubtful, he probably commands hideous fees I’d imagine. The kind of lawyer who would represent literally anyone for a buck is the impression I get.Is he a no win no fee lawyer type?
