Should Roman Polanski be extradited?

Post by maiforpeace » Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:26 pm

What do you think should happen with Roman Polanski? Should he be pardoned, or should he be extradited to California to face more criminal charges?

He was charged, he should appear in court to face the charges.

Why should he be exempt from the law?

I've not seen more than the headlines on the news. But I'd say it's fair that he gets extradited (under a valid treaty) and faces trial for his alleged crime. If he's innocent then he can go home again. Just because it was a long time ago, it doesn't mean it should be any different.

Apparently the girl in question has no interest in testifying so unless they have something else to pin on him I can't see how they can get anywhere with this.

In that case it should be a formality for Polanski.

As far as I know he escaped to avoid a longer jail sentence that his celebrity judge and media whore was trying to pin on him, despite having done jail time already and settled with the victim after pleading guilty in court.

Except for that confession, and that he now could face new charges for evading the law for so long.

I really don't understand why so many people are so willing to defend him. Child rape is one of those things where people should just be taken out back and shot. No one is above the law.

if Gawd had intended film makers not to be rapists, he wouldn't have made adult films.
