google Polanski and read the press releases and it is in many of them. you can be as anal about this as you like. i have yet to insult any of you. i have been attacked and insulted and apparently the mods do nothing because i don't have 7000 posts yet.
i am just the whipping person here because you people just don't get it. you defended Bush you defend your courts. in your eyes America can do no wrong. well they can they do and they did and in this they are wrong and the courts have done more damage to this woman than a gang rape and you nor anyone on your side of the fence give a **** about her. you just care that this beast is behind bars. maybe if your courts and police hadn't dropped the ball as you do in so many areas we would not be debating this now.
You hate the American justice system. We get it. :roll:
Polanski's lawyers at the time should have (and most probably did if they're worth anything) made it clear that a plea bargain is not set in stone until the actual hearing when the judge makes his final ruling and sentencing. The judge, right or wrong, changed his mind. Polanski's back up plan in case of such an eventuality was obviously to flea and become a fugitive. Great plan, unless you get stupid and careless. He got stupid and careless.
Choice -------> Consequence
Personally, I think that the matter should have been dropped long ago. If he ever voluntarily set foot on US soil, then, yes, by all means, grab the repulsive individual and deal with him through the US courts. But this whole international man-hunt over a 30 year old questionable statutory rape case was just not necessary.
