When the evaluation was given to the court after appr. 45 days, the judge determined that RP should go back to jail to finish out the original sentence, (appr. 45 days).

Where did you find this bit of twisted truth?  Roman Polanski was ordered to undergo evaluation to determine if he required treatment. And was ordered confined for up to 90 days. He was released after 42 days. That did not "leave" additional days for him to serve.  The judge decided that he would go ahead and "resentence" him and broadcast that fact all over Los Angeles and broadcast it using an anti-Semitic reference to Roman Polanski and that was the point Roman Polanski decided to leave the country. To flee the Nazis once again.  He called an airline and drove to the airport and boarded a plane, passport in hand, and left the country. And I honestly don’t blame him.  I didn’t blame him then. I don’t blame him now. 

The judge should have been removed from the bench and prosecuted himself.  I am sorry but all of this was common knowledge at the time and I suspect even the district attorney’s office at the time was appalled despite the current district attorney’s office avoiding the subject.   A judge in our country should not be allowed to agree to an agreement and then disregard the agreement and "resentence" the person.  Even the victim in this case has acknowledged that. 

That is a matter of double jeopardy. Apparently that doesn’t matter. Just as it doesn’t matter that the victim, and she was a victim if not a rape victim, is being revictimized or that her children and his children are being victimized as well. 

All any of you want to do is burn a witch at the stake.  Schadenfreude at its worst. 

You are correct Lin, WHY should this rapist be given any lighter of a sentence? There is no good reason. Because he is a Director? Can these people be any more shallow?

He is a RAPIST. He sodomized a child a 13 year old girl child, because he could. I find the Hollywood defense of this man one of the most disgusting things that I have yet to see those Hollywood types do. They have really done it now, so many that have spoken out for this RAPIST are going to watch there popularity drop like a rock.

I’m making a list and none of them, or anything that they represent will get my money.

They are a hypocritical lot.

In coming back to this site due to replies to my comment, I find it more than interesting that the same people who believe RP should be forgiven or blame the victim, are the people on other sites who want to basically burn David Letterman at the stakes.   

What’s going on here?  Raping a child is OK.  Having a relationship with a consenting adult is NOT?

Who’s kidding Who here?  Are these people schills for various sites?

Whichever, BEWARE:  THEY HAVE NO CREDIBILITY.

I agree with everything you said Lin.  The child (now an adult) said she forgave him, that does not releive him of his evil deed.  If he were not RP what would the government and law be doing or saying?  He would probably have been in jail long agp!

He went a little nuts. Most of us would have as well.  Some of us did as well.  Some things are so horrific the only way to deal with them is to go a little nuts.  His judgement was clouded.  As all of ours is at times when dealing with horrific things in our lives. Some of us. Not all of us.  Some have no idea what it is like.  And so they sit around in judgement over other people’s clouded judgement. As I recall the story, he was in London talking with someone about a mutual friend who had just died and he commented, playing off a line from a nursery rhyme.  "Eenie, meenie, minie mo who will be the next to go."  And then the phone rang. He went a little nuts.  We all would have.  He is not a rapist or a pedophile. He was not a rapist or a pedophile. He was as Anjelica Huston put it merely an unhappy man. Who was still a little nuts. 

After the plea agreement was reached and agreed to by the court and by the judge he left the country in order to complete a film. And returned and reported to Chino.  He acted honorably and responsibly per the agreement. Which is more than anyone else, it seems, did.
