Roman Polanski is free
As reported on numerous websites such as here on the BBC, Roman Polanski was released from house arrest in Switzerland after his deportation to the US was refused.
Seriously what is wrong with a judicial system when it states ’not about deciding whether he is guilty or not guilty’as the Swiss Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpfdid? Since when was it not about him being guilty of being a rapist? Since when was it not about him raping and sodomising a young girl? If it is not about that then what the heck is it about?
I genuinely feel sickened by this. Roman Polanski admitted sex with the 13 year old girl as part of a plea bargain before fleeing the US. The fact that he even got the chance to plea bargain to that charge after having drugged and abused a child is beyond belief. And now, years later when he is captured and able to be transported to face trial for his crime, he is released by a Swiss court and told he is a free man.
Now I am guessing that if if someone drugs and rapes Eveline Widmer-Schlumpff’s 13 year old grand daughter then she might be considering that it is in fact an arguement of whether that man is guilty or not guilty. Maybe if Roman Polanski were to do that she might slightly change her view on all of this.
I am guessing that in the end this all comes down to Polanski being famous and powerful with many friends able to lean on (who I am guessing by this time are all in dier need of spider vein treatment) and ’advise'those responsible for this decision to set him free.
Meanwhile somewhere in America is a family who did have their little girl raped and who never did get justice for her. She is now grown up and has no doubt been forever haunted by the incident.
It all just makes me sick to the stomach.
