Another night behind bars down, and disgraced Cardinal George Pell is still none the wiser about whether his last-ditch bid for freedom has paid off. He also described the location as being a room where Pell was robing while his usual sacristy was being renovated. The High Court could now take a number of paths including refusing special leave and ending Pell's appeal hopes. If leave is granted the appeal could be refused, or it could be granted resulting in the convictions being quashed and Pell being released. Justice Geoffrey Nettle also hinted that a re-hearing of the original appeal either by the High Court or by sending it back to Victoria's Court of Appeal was an option.
