did appreciate the film, thanks alot ms zenovich, but was left wanting more. in particular somehow missed what technical defects did the swiss authorities cite to refuse extradition? darned if that was explained.

editorial comments:

1) socalled justice in america is a joke, in the same way our blowing stuff up war department spells itself
d-e-f-e-n-s-e.

2) mr polanski's lifelong body of work is awesome.. thank you sir.

His body of work is like asserting that Hitler made the trains run on time. It is irrelevant to the legal issue at hand. Did he anally rape a 13-year-old girl?

Shut up. How dare you compare Polanski to Hitler. And there is no evidence of his anally raping a 13-year-old girl. He is not even remotely interested in anal sex.

exec summary:
o she forgave RM,
o feels victimized even worse by self-serving prosecutors (wannabe-politicans)
o above all else, demands the right to get on with her life.

now available from booksellers everywhere, and/or most public libraries:
"the girl: a life in the shadow of roman polanski", by Samantha Geimer (with Judith Newman), released in the fall of 2013.

Yes, like former Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley. The only reason he reopened the Polanski case, was so he could further his campaign to win the California election in 2010. He lost, because he reopened a case that did't need to be reopened.

At first, Switzerland greatly supported Cooley, then they gave him the middle finger once they found out the truth.
