Yes, but the Royal Commission released their findings which Found that Cardinal Pell was "conscious of child sexual abuse by clergy" as early as 1973 and failed to act on complaints about priests.
So although a jury of his peers fpund him guilty, then his appeal was lost in the Vic Supreme court before a full bench, he then went to the high court who said that the jury had erred by not “entertained doubt over his guilt.”. So whilst they may have in fact done that in deliberations, it was not documented.
Following the High Court decision, the Royal Commission released their findings which criticised his conduct by systematically ignoring and avoiding actual and factual events of sex crimes by priests against children.
