"On February 1, 1978, [Roman] Polanski fled to France, where he retained citizenship. He believed that the judge was going to disregard the plea bargain, in which case he could be sentenced to a prison term (albeit much less than the 50 years he faced under the original indictment). Like many countries, France refuses to extradite its own citizens, which is consistent with the extradition treaty between France and the United States. As a consequence, the American extradition request was not granted. The United States government could have requested that Polanski be prosecuted on the California charges by the French authorities[13], but this option was not pursued."

If Paris flees, think
of all the publicity
she'll get in Japan
or France, wherever
she runs to... She can't, of course,
claim citizenship
rights, but who's gonna
deport her for traffic crimes?
I think she should run!
If she doesn’t run, she’ll probably get a deal to make a ‘reality show’ out of her stay in jail!! If she does, by chance, do her time, she will definitely end up making money off of it in some way....writing a book, interviews, tv appearances, etc.!! If she had ANY SENSE at all, she would DONATE that money to MADD or some other worthy charity, but most likely, she won’t!
