Here's one more for the Hall of Shame: On July 12, the Swiss Ministry of "Justice" announced that it will not extradite filmmaker Roman Polanski to the U.S. where he would be sentenced and rightfully punished for a sexual assault that he admittedly committed against a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Instead, he was set free.
And so Polanski continues to escape accountability for his crime.
If this were an ordinary person who had committed the same crime, rather than a rich and famous director, I suspect he would have been promptly sent to prison without a second thought.
But Polanski's superstar status somehow wins him the sympathy of the Swiss officials and many in Hollywood.
It's disgusting.
And it's criminal -- literally.
>> If you have any questions or doubts about what occurred on the evening of the crime, read the court transcript of the victim's testimony. And remember: Polanski pled guilty.
