Remember the flap over Roman Polanski's arrest in Switzerland earlier this month?
It hasn't gone away.
A news article this week reported that the Swiss have refused to allow Polanski to leave jail for house arrest, citing the obvious flight risk. After all, he's in Europe because he fled a court sentencing in the US in the first place.
What is comical is that Polanski's lawyer says they will attempt to offer ever larger financial assets as collateral to get Polanski sprung.
By the way, he's 76 and probably has enough money that losing a chalet or two pales besides being imprisoned in the US for flight from his original sentencing.
Polanski is reportedly suffering from "depression because of his incarceration."
Hmm. I wonder what sort of depression or other psychological impairments the admitted rapist's 13 year-old victim suffered after he drugged her, then sexually assaulted her?
Yes, it seems the Swiss are acting in such a way as to deliver this little moral package to Wonderboy's doorstep one day soon.
How will he reconcile Hollywood's affection for him, and its denizens' demands that Polanski be pardoned for art's sake?
Stay tuned.....
