Los Angeles district attorney refuses to put up with Roman Polanski’s bullshit
In February, we reported that famed director and admitted rapist Roman Polanski was trying to return to the U.S. after several decades on the run, but only if the Los Angeles courts would unseal a “secret transcript” that supposedly proves Polanski was just supposed to get sentenced to 90 days of psychiatric evaluation after confessing to raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977. As the story goes, Polanski was totally willing to confess when he thought he was getting a sweet deal for being famous, but then he heard that the judge—the late Laurence Rittenband—was going to give him up to 50 years in prison instead. So, rather than actually face punishment for the crime he admitted to committing, Polanski ran.
