Extradition???? (Roman Polanski)



Roman Polanski was arrested last week in Switzerland for a sex charge in Los Angeles almost 33 years ago. On the 26 of September he was arrested in Switzerland upon his arrival in the airport. He was on his way to the Zurich Film Festival which was holding a Polanski tribute.


In 1977 Polanski an Oscar filmmaker pleaded guilty for having sexual intercourse with 13 year old girl. Apparently he drunk and drug her and perform various sex acts with her during a photo shoot at Jack Nicholson's house. Polanski, his lawyer, and the prosecuted work out a deal so Polanski will stay out of jail but the Judge, who is now dead, issue 42 days in prison while undergoing psychological testing.


Polanski then fled the U.S and left to France. Sandi Gibbons spokeswoman of the Los Angeles county district said the extradition process will be determined in Switzerland, but authorities are ready to sentence Polanski.


Samantha Geimer Polanksi’s victim wants to drop charges because it only reminds her of what happen. Geimer’s lawyer said that if Polanski was treated fairly and sentenced his client wouldn’t be suffering for the 32 years of publicity after the crime. What do you think?
