How in the hell could a dude who once fled a nation to avoid prosecution even be allowed to post bail?

haha, everyone and their mother makes bail.  Sad but true.

At least he's supposed to be wearing some sort of electronic monitoring bracelet at home.

Hmm, I wonder why he was able to make bail but couldn't pay out about 10% of that amount for the settlement cash for the rape he committed?

I'm pretty sure he DID pay the girl and her family.

Most expensive piece of ass in history confirmed?

Supposedly he still owes about $600,000.

Oh, I see.

Well, probably for the best. It's not like paying the family would have gotten him out of this situation.

I really didn't care or have much knowledge of the Roman Polanski rape case up until recently when I saw Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired and if that film is accurate, this whole case is incredibly silly and a waste of court resources.  If anything the judge that presided over the case should've been disbarred for malfeasance.

I'm not one that would normally defend a fucking rapist, but even the vicitim in this case doesn't want Polanski to serve any time.

We've already went over this; that is pretty much irrelevant.

Regardless of whether or not there was an improper trial, Polanski broke the law by fleeing the country. The current justice actually agrees with Polanski that the now-dead judge improperly proceeded over his case, but you can't be a fugitive and ask for a case dismissal. As early as January or February, the judge said he'd hear him out if he just came to court.

Polanski has dragged it on, not the court system.

That'll stop him from having sex with his step-kids.


Oh wait, that was a different pedo director.

Well, probably for the best. It's not like paying the family would have gotten him out of this situation.

The civil suit settlement occurred nearly two decades after he fled the US. And anyway, a civil suit settlement should play no part in a criminal trial or criminal sentencing, either for or against the accused.

I really didn't care or have much knowledge of the Roman Polanski rape case up until recently when I saw Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired and if that film is accurate, this whole case is incredibly silly and a waste of court resources.  If anything the judge that presided over the case should've been disbarred for malfeasance.

If Polanski felt the trial judge acted improperly, he could have sought relief legally through an appeal, which he could easily afford. The fact is he fled before the trial judge even had a chance to sentence him.

I'm not one that would normally defend a fucking rapist, but even the vicitim in this case doesn't want Polanski to serve any time.

The victim wanted him to face justice for nearly three decades, yet her wishes were not respected. The fact is that criminal cases are tried by the state, not individuals. The state should consider the victims wishes, but ultimately it has broader societal concerns to punish and deter child sexual abuse.

It was only after the civil suit that she asked the charges to be dropped, and not because she didn't feel they were warranted, but rather the emotional toll the media coverage has taken on her life.

... y'know, from Polanski dragging this thing out.

And as stated, he didn't even pay the entirety of the settlement, but has more than enough to post bail.

What a prick.

Without reviving the argument about what he did (you know, how he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl) what's even the point of having bail...could the judge even argue with a straight face that he isn't a flight risk  ???

The judge never did, apparently:

The filmmaker is still seen a high flight risk, according to the court.

Also, his wife and unborn child were killed by the Manson family.  Can't forget about that.

Can't wait for 25 years into the future when that kid who found out his dad was Manson is charged with raping an entire elementary school, but gets off the hook.

He didn't make any movies, he won't get off the hook.
