Roman Polanski- No Justice Needed

[drone]

He posted bail, which is generally allowed prior to sentencing to let the suspect sort things out before the trial/sentencing. Bail is generally set according to the crime, and can be denied outright if the suspect is a flight risk or dangerous. Bail is not a way to get out of a sentenced prison term.

I assume he used his own money for bail. Poorer suspects can get a bail-bondsman to post for them (with a small percentage put up by the suspect), but skipping bail on a bail-bondsman means both cops and bounty hunters will come after you.

What legality do bounty hunters have within the states?

They have a surprisingly broad range of action. Source.

Just so we remember, there was a little girl involved. Here's what she had to say at the time.

"Q. What did you do when he said, 'Let's go into the other room'?

A. I was going 'No, I think I better go home', because I was afraid. So I just went and I sat down on the couch.

Q. What were you afraid of?

A. Him.... He sat down beside me and asked if I was OK. I said 'No'.

Q. What did he say?

A. He goes 'Well, you'll be better'. And I go, 'No I won't. I have to go home. He said 'I'll take you home soon'.

Q. Then what happened?

A. Then he went down and he started performing cuddliness... I was kind of dizzy, you know, like things were kind of blurry sometimes. I was having trouble with my coordination... I wasn't fighting really because I, you know, there was no one else there and I had no place to go."

Q. Did he ask you about being on the pill?

A. He asked, he goes, 'Are you on the pill?' and I went, 'No' and he goes 'When did you have your period?' and I said, 'I don't know. A week or two. I'm not sure'... He goes, 'Come on. You have to remember'. And I told him I didn't.... and right after I said I was not on the pill... and he goes... and then he put me – wait. Then he lifted my legs up farther and he went in through my anus.

Q. Did you resist at that time?

A. A little bit, but not really, because...

Q. Because what?

A. Because I was afraid of him."

Now I don't know about you lot but if some filth had done that to one of my grandaughters he'd count himself lucky that the police got him first.

Oh and the Swiss government should be ashamed of themselves. Along with the UK, Canada, France and one or two more 'enlightened' western governents.

That is all.

Not quite. Nice to see you around Senor Corleone.

Just fry him on a chair.


Even by the standards of the liberal, experimentative climate of 1970's artist circles, drugging and raping a 13 year old is too much.

As for the Swiss, and France and the others - blech.
Who does the entertainment industry and the Euro intelligentsia think they are protecting? Marc Chagall in 1943? Well they failed back then too and have never shown a sign of improvement of their moral compass ever since.
The whole of Rome is on trial for paedophile scandals, but one of their own must be protected from the anti-artistic, brutal, conservatives and their neanderthal justice system.



Shame though, I too thought The Pianist was a great movie. I'd love to see it again, but can't bring myself to it. Wish I had known about Polanski's past before Hollywood gave him an Oscar.

[Brenus]

See a lot of Euro bashing here. Can someone remind me who took his Oscar for him and bring it to him?
Yes, he should be put in jail. But as far as I know, the US failled to fulfill the paper work properly, so teh Swiss had no choice than to refuse.

As the so-called intelligentsia, with BHL as head, when they made a point you sure it is the wrong one. Like a compass showing the South.
