Roman Polanski testified at a hearing in Poland on Wednesday about a U.S. request for the Oscar-winning director’s extradition over a child-sex case dating back to 1977. The court reportedly said that it needed more time to make a decision in the case. Judge Dariusz Mazur scheduled another hearing, which could be sometime in April or…

I utterly and completely condemn what he did — both the original statutory rape and fleeing his sentence.
That being said, isn’t this what statutory limits are for?
Carla Akins February 25th, 2015 at 21:03
I swear I just said those exact words.

nope. he was charged and indicted for the rape and plead guilty. he fled never being sentenced to serve his time. if he had never been charged and later down the road evidence was found (i.e. dna) it would have been to late. this is a whole different ball game. they want their time out of him. the stupid part is, he likely wouldn’t have served much of anytime anyway.

It wasn’t STATUTORY rape. He forcibly raped her while she begged him to stop. Just thought I’d clarify that.

Polanski’s suffering makes his work all the better; i.e. The Pianist.
And, the former Ms. Geimer has profited from her suffering, in the form of guilt or hush money payoffs, and, a best-selling bio, as well.
whatthe46 February 25th, 2015 at 23:43
well, he could have done his suffering in prison and create more works of art from behind bars.
AmusedAmused February 26th, 2015 at 09:22
Oh yes, he probably did her a favor by raping her in the a** while she pleaded with him to stop. B*tches, amirite?

I think the statute of limitations ran out 50 years ago

You can now add “statute of limitations” to the very long list of things you don’t understand. Perhaps you have another line of defense you would like to use to defend this creep?

Get a life moron
Um Cara February 26th, 2015 at 11:30
Is that like a “life coach”? If so would you be my “life moron”? I can’t imagine a better candidate!

Good, you’ll get the help you so desperately need

Um cara? vc é brasileiro! Esse com quem vc troca farpas is a great guy, conheço ele bem!
Um Cara February 27th, 2015 at 19:04
E ai, Gina. Prazer. Huahuahua… Por favor, ele é um babaca sem educação. Mas tudo bele – não temos que concordar com ele, e ele realmente não vale a pena. Eu não sou um brasileiro, eu sou um gringo, mas morava em São Paulo há vários anos. E vc?
Gina February 27th, 2015 at 19:11
Vc é engraçado! Eu sou brasileira, escrevendo daqui do Brasil. Mas por favor, parem de brigar, ele não é um babaca, é um grande amigo, mesmo! É um prazer te conhecer!

Please, Um Cara, why would anyone actually need to understand a legal concept, when there is the much more effective legal strategy of meaningless legalese-dropping and gratuitous name-calling? Just look at how rg9rts totally matlocked the prosecution’s case against Polanski by deftly calling you a moron and instructing you to get a life. Get outta town, Darrow, we have a REAL intellectual heavyweight here!
AmusedAmused February 26th, 2015 at 10:40
“A child-sex case”? Really, Alan? How long did you have to sit there and think of a way to avoid using the r-word? For shame.

The beauty of the situation is: He’s been convicted. Therefore, he’s not considered a fugitive from prosecution, but an escapee. No statute of limitations. He could be out of the country for a hundred years, come back and still have a jail sentence waiting for him. Bastard deserves it, too.
