Bern, Switzerland —The Swiss government formally announced that they have freed film director Roman Polanski. They will not be turning Polanski over to the star struck, Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley for more victimization in a court system rife with corruption. Cooley needs Polanski or any high profile person to publicly torture and vilify to help is campaign for Attorney General of California. There are thousands of older men that have impregnated California’s teen girls that go unpunished simply because nobody cares if those predators don’t have name recognition. Cooley knows Polanski would have been a wonderful campaign show pony to delight voters with. Polanski will not be winning any humanitarian awards for his conduct more than three decades ago with a 13 year-old girl in Jack Nicholson’s hot tub. It’s interesting that Polanski’s victim had disclosed to police and prosecutors her two prior sexual encounters with other men. Those offenders were never were never sou...

Geneva, Switzerland —Last November I was privileged to be working in Geneva, and Lausanne Switzerland on a death penalty case. The Roman Polanski case was just getting started. Since then, they have killed an entire forest to make the paper to argue this case in two countries. I learned that my Swiss friends were all angry that their country would dare meddle in the decades old foreign case. They were even angrier that Polanski was invited to Switzerland for a film award and arrested. It was somewhat like arresting a government diplomat. The Swiss are known for their refusal to interfere with other countries legal squabbles. This whole affair has been handled very un-Swiss like by the Swiss government. That being said I wanted in the worse way to investigate and report the state of this entire mess while I was there. That was impossible since I was up to my ears in the other matter. The other matter deserved my entire attention. I wrote about the Polanski odyssey trying to reveal as m...

Los Angeles, CA -- The California 2nd District Court of Appeal announced today it had denied the petition to dismiss the case against fugitive film Director Roman Polanski . Polanski will now have to litigate these matters in Los Angeles when and if he is extradited from Geneva, Switzerland. Polanski is currently fighting extradition while under home arrest in his Geneva Chalet. Here is their opinion: Polanski Appeal Denied

Los Angeles, CA —In a bankrupt state that is trying to figure a way to release 60,000 criminals from their prisons, it’s obvious that fugitive film director Roman Polanski is serving as pure entertainment. Is this just a way for L.A. County DA Steve Cooley to get some much needed press attention? I know that despite a broken plea agreement, the fact that Polanski actually already served prison time or there was judicial and prosecutorial misconduct, many Americans want Polanski punished even more. Public safety is hardly an issue since Polanski has not set foot on American soil in over three decades. At age 76, Polanski is incapable of ever committing any similar crimes again. To facilitate the extradition taxpayers will be required to spend a bundle litigating the issue in a Swiss court. After that they must arrange secure taxpayer funded transportation and housing getting Polanski to Los Angeles. That is far from cheap. Once Polanski arrives, tax payers get punished some more while...

Zurich, Switzerland —The Associated Press has reported that Swiss authorities have arrested fugitive film director, and Holocaust survivor, Roman Polanski . The arrest was in connection with a warrant issued after Los Angeles authorities reneged on a plea agreement they entered into with Polanski, 76 on charges related to sexual activity with a willing 13 year old girl in 1977. Recently in Los Angeles, lawyers for Polanski have taken up this matter asking that the warrant be quashed and any orders to punish Polanski outside the original plea agreement be vacated. So far the courts have ruled that in order for Polanski’s request to even be considered he must surrender to the court. That ruling is currently under appeal but may be mute if Polanski is returned to L.A. Polanski had traveled to Zurich for a film festival where he was to receive an award. Instead Polanski was arrested. Polanski will be able to contest his extradition before a Swiss court. We will have to wait and see what...

Los Angeles— The Associated Press is reporting that lawyers for Academy Award winning film director, Holocaust survivor and fugitive Roman Polanski have filed a motion in the Superior Court seeking to have the 30 year-old charges dismissed. The motion alleges new facts uncovered by a recent documentary film revealed prosecutorial and judicial misconduct. The HBO documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired was released and reviewd earlier on this blog. Polanski was prosecuted for consensual sexual relations with Samantha Geimer, then 13 years-old after a romp in actor Jack Nicholson’s hot tub. Polanski had an incredibly difficult life where Nazi’s murdered his parents and the Manson Gang murdered his beautiful, young pregnant wife, Sharon Tate. Polanski served some prison time but after the late judge, Laurence Rrittenbrand reneged on a plea agreement Polanski fled to France. Polanski has been punished enough, let him return in peace.

It was a L.A. County Superior Court Press Release that called my attention to this story. The court was trying to do some damage control on a minor factual issue in the HBO documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired If the Superior Court was complaining I had to see what the fuss was about. The court was going to be exposed for a horrible example of Celebrity Injustice . In Poland, Roman Pulaski’s Catholic mother was murdered by the Nazi’s and his father was sent to a concentration camp. Polanski lived on a farm and after attending a film school the lad escaped from then Communist Poland to France, where he was born. Soon Polanski was living the American dream finding himself quickly thrust into film making and Hollywood’s A-List. Polanski met and married the beautiful actress, Sharon Tate . While Polanski was in Europe the Manson Family butchered Tate and her friends. The murders were ritualistic in appearance and since Polanski directed Rosemary’s Baby some muck-raking members o...
