According to Wikipedia, he was Polish by birth. Don't know if that matters to the french, though.
He was an American who committed a crime on American soil, was detained and tried by the American justice system, and he fled to France. He's lived there under their protection for so long that he is now a naturalized citizen.
We already know the French won't extradite him. The question is just how this colors everyone's views of the French.
It's really quite remarkable that they would go to such lengths to harbor a man who literally drugged and raped a child. I wouldn't want that man anywhere near my country - pick another forum to make your point on the death penalty.
But that's the French for you.
