The conviction came on the second attempt, after a jury could not decide a verdict during an earlier trial.

The Victorian County Court first brought in the suppression order after the first trial.

Yep. Cardinal George Pell.

Look for the usual fantasists to claim it’s Hillary or the Clinton Foundation.

It’s a quirk in British and Australian law.

Originally meant to protect nobility, IIRC.............

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, “Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty.”

I think it is a reference to opium dens, or something like them.
