AP can not post details
“AP can not post details”
What? No lies??
all polanski, all the time.
It actually says he lied to a film crew recently. They were making a film about the case and were gathering evdience about alleged malfeasance on the part of the Prosecutor and the Judge.
So there was no penetration?
No doping?
No statement from the victim asking him to stop?
You can now excerpt AP.
Brief summary - Irrelevant. He fled. That is a crime in itself.
Long story short, the documentary that the defenders point to is a fraud. One of the participants in the case lied to make Polanski’s side look better.
All really irrelevant, other than exposing the prosecutor as a blowhard.
More fuel for the Pro-Polanski crowd, they will use any thing to boost their pressure to get Polanski out of any and all charges. The man made some movies while on the run that the Pro-Polanski crowd loves and they want him to make more great movies and get more Oscars.
OK, so put him in jail too.
Hey Whoopi, I hope this happens to a 13 y.o. relative of yours: Polanski was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and part of a Quaalude during a modeling shoot in 1977 and raping her. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy, so you can make your outrageous claim that it wasn’t RAPE rape.
What did he say? That, they were no longer pursuing him, so that, they could sting him into going where he could be extradited.
Actually, his contention that he lied to the film crew removes some fuel for the Pro-Polanski crowd.
If he really didn't pressure the judge, that's one less drop in their eyedropper.
They really have nothing except the rich celebrity exception defense, that only makes sense to rich celebrity child-rapists.
They will use it any way I think. They will just focus on the word “lied” and not about where the lie was directed at.
No, the article says that the prosecutor now says he lied to the makers of the pro-Polanski documentary film (released last year). One big point they make in the film in Polanski’s defense is that there was judicial misconduct (the prosecutor was giving advice to the judge on what kinds of penalties to offer) and thus the case should be thrown out as a mistrial.
So this is not a pro-Polanski article.
The man pled guilty.
Lock his sorry butt away.
Did the prosecitor get a check from Polanski?
The lie has absolutely nothing to do with Polanski’s guilty plea. A few years ago he was involved in a film about Polanski and he tried to make himself look more influential then he was. He claimed he influenced the judge’s decision to sentence Polanski to prison but he really didn’t influence him.
