Don't really know what this has to do with illegal immigration. The fact is, this Polanski plead guilty and then fled. Its a good day for justice. Maybe we can also capture, fugative and long time Clinton financier Mark Rich. We can only hope.
polanski had a plea deal in which he was not to save jail time. he feared the judge was going to reneged the deal and fled. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090928/en_nm/us_polanski_arrest_extradition_1 http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/09/27/zurich.roman.polanski.arrested/index.html?iref=mpstoryview a judge ruled that there was possible judicial misconduct in this case. It is all about Switzerland and the UBS case and bank secrecy. The US can't push China or Russia around They try to pick on smaller countries like Switzerland. The US is pathetic as loses its power.
quote from wallet Yes there is a statute of limitations - between the date of commission and the date of arrest. But this scumbag was arrested in a (legally) timely manner and pled, after which he skipped (escaped). Thankfully there's no statute of limitations for that. quote from publix Aside from the fact that he got her drunk and gave her pills, no child her age is capable of giving consent. As such, he did indeed rape a CHILD. And it's nice that she's forgiven him, but he broke the law!!! This has been about Polanski for a long time before it became about Switzerland, but if being "about" Switzerland is what it took to grab this pervert, then so be it. Would be interesting to read your reaction had the victem been YOUR daughter.
may be he has also molested another kid in switzerland and the swissies would rather send him to the US. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. A child molester seldom molest only one child, more like 10-400 kids/child molester.
Excellent point!!! How many victims before and since??? But, as his supporters extoll ... he lost family in the death camps, his wife was brutally murdered and he's a celebrity - so let by-gones be by-gones. Yeah, right!!!
He drugged and raped a 12 yo and was convicted of it in a court of law. JC Dugard likely doesn't want Phil & Nancy Gurrdio tried and convicted of kidnapping, raping, and holding her in capitivity for 20+ years either, should they get a pass too? Don't answer fool.
We have to uphold the law. The long time span makes this seem less urgent. This doesn't change the facts, he plead guilty and didn't want to do the time so he fled, it's pretty simple, sentence him and lock him up. If this guy was an average man and not famous and talented no one would come to his defense.
Interesting to see yet another liberal who thinks banging 12 year olds is fine. The pedophile wing of the DNC must be larger than some of us expected.
From what I know, a conservative catholic or evangelical man is most likely to be a child molestor. However, this doesn't mean no liberals can be child molestor. His arrest and condemnation will serve as a warning to any child molestor hoping to escape jail time.
