MELBOURNE, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Australia's High Court on Wednesday agreed to hear former Vatican treasurer George Pell's final appeal to overturn his conviction for sexually assaulting two teenaged choirboys.
Pell, who is in jail serving a six-year sentence handed down by a lower court in March, turned to the High Court after a first appeal upheld his conviction.
The appeal has been referred to a full bench of five or seven judges, with the hearing on the appeal expected in March 2020 at the earliest, a court spokesman said.
