SYDNEY: The ruling in Australian Cardinal George Pell's appeal against his conviction on historical child sex abuse charges will be handed down on Aug 21, court officials announced Thursday .
The judges can decide to reject the appeal, order a retrial or acquit Pell, the Catholic Church's most senior convicted child molester. His lawyers raised 13 objections to his conviction on five counts of sexual abuse, arguing it was"physically impossible" for the cleric to have committed the crimes in a crowded cathedral.They cast doubt on everything from the timing of the incident following Sunday services to whether he would have been able to move his cumbersome archbishop's robes enough to commit the assaults.
