Roman Polanski to Take Case to Highest Court in Swiss
It seems old demons always follow old people no matter how much time has passed in life. Director Roman Polanski is going to appeal again for his freedom to the highest court in Switzerland after officers denied his latest bail request. Polanski who pleaded guilty in 1978 of raping a 13 year old girl fled to France not long before his final sentence was adjudicated to him 30 years ago, and now 31 years later his punishment is coming at a slow but secure step.
Almost a month ago Polanski was put in jail when he was heading to a festival in Zurich and so far he has been behind bars and twice his petition had been denied by the Swiss Criminal Authorities but his lawyers said that they are going to prove the opposite. Maybe they should think that we are talking about a man who admitted 30 years ago rapping a 13 year old girl and that beside his movies he’s been famous for that.
