Why Did Roman Polanski Run Away?

If the corrupt judge did that to him,
what makes u think that he 'd treat u or your favorite people any better?

First I am not planning on raping a 13 year old girl or boy for that matter!!!!!

Oh I did love hearing one of his supporters calling the victim a young woman in one public statement.

A 13 year old child a young woman indeed.

Is there a reason
that u believe that he limits his treachery to rapists ?

Treachery as in considering rejecting a very light plea deal
for a man in his middle years raping a child?

We need far more evil judges on the bench.

In this case I know of no word or phrase that works better for what I want it to than "collective".

Our first concern, and principle concern, is that Mr. Polanski be set free" from jail while "remaining on Swiss territory," Temime told reporters at the Justice Palace in Paris. "He has a chalet in Switzerland. He would naturally accept to be placed under house arrest during the followup of the extradition proceedings."

The Swiss Justice Ministry did not rule out the possibility that Polanski could be released on bail under very strict conditions that he doesn't flee Switzerland, but said house arrest had never happened before in a case like this.

"In most cases the imprisoned person has to remain in detention for the whole process," said Peter Cosandey, a former Zurich prosecutor specializing in international criminal cooperation.

"The chances that he will be exempted from prison are rather small," he added, because Polanski isn't a Swiss citizen or a permanent resident and is considered at high risk of fleeing justice.

ZURICH " Imprisoned director Roman Polanski should have been warned that he faced an international arrest warrant before he arrived in Switzerland, the country's former justice minister said Friday.

Christoph Blocher said a warning would have been fairer to the 76-year-old filmmaker who was arrested as he arrived for a government-backed festival that invited him to receive an award. He also said it would have been legal.

Polanski was apprehended on an American request for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. Authorities in Los Angeles consider Polanski a convicted felon and a fugitive, and Switzerland says there has been an international warrant out on him since 2005.

"You don't invite someone when you know he's going to be arrested," said Blocher, a nationalist firebrand who was ousted from the government at the end of 2007 after helping the People's Party become Switzerland's strongest. "You simply don't do that."

Switzerland has also faced pressure to act on behalf of Polanski, particularly from France and Poland, the two countries where Polanski has citizenship. But officials have said they will not bend to political pressure and will treat the case like any other.

Even Blocher said Polanski's case was simple now.

"He traveled here. He is criminally punishable in the U.S. He must be extradited," Blocher said, adding that's why a warning might have been better: "Then we would have been spared this whole mess."

"You don't invite someone when you know he's going to be arrested," said Blocher

that is right, and they also have now gone back on their promise of bank secrecy, and hung a lot of people out to dry. Getting stuck with the Polanski drama looks to be due to idiocy as it could have easily been avoided, but who knows, maybe they have turned militantly law and order....
