He pled guilty. Period. That ends her part in all this. Its now strictly a legal matter. One i do feel he should have to man up for.

quote:

Is that how you would feel if she wanted his balls on a platter? I bet if she wanted "justice" you would be saying something very different about her opinion, but since it does not agree with yours, you have discounted it. I believe that a victim should have a right to have their opinion heard and respected, whether they want to throw away the key, or they want leniency.

Yes I do believe that is something that courts take into account every day around this country...

Not for rape my dear...other than perhaps the punishment phase.

The actual victim in this case won a 500,000 settlement against Polanski. Just because she NOW says no doesnt change the crime or the judicial process.

So you don't care what the actual victim feels about this, only how you feel, gotcha

About the same as you saying him raping a 13 year old girl and having to do his time isnt the same as your neice being raped at nine.

Do you really want to get nasty?

There are a lot of Californians that want him prosecuted…I’ll bet a lot more than don’t.

I have not been nasty here, I think you should look in the mirror on that account,

I have repeatedly tried to look at this from an unemotional view, and yet you keep looking at it through your emotion. I understand that you would feel emotional about this, but it does not change the fact he has been gone for 30 years, he has not been accused of any other crime, and his sentence would be extremely lenient if they had him return. Why would I want this person back in California for some dog and pony show when right across the street from where I live, in the same county that Polanski committed his crime, they let perps like him go free every day because they lack room for them?

This is the way I am looking at it from the view of a Californian that has seen more than one pervert get out of jail early and murder someone as a result... now those are the stark realities. I live in the most populated county in California, and you want to lock up Roman Polanski for a month and let some heinous bastard out so he can take their place... The French can keep him... thank you very much

We do only because it does make a difference what the motivation... if it was rape that is one thing...he may not repeat...but if it was pedophilia he most likely would without treatment.

in fact he was examined by a psychologist that says he isn't a pedophile, but never mind that, and never mind that doctors that research pedophilia try to educate people on what pedophilia is and try to keep that word from being inaccurately tossed around

quote:

I dont know about California, but i would hazard a guess that the charge there isnt taken lightly either. So, to say he would spend only another 40+ days in jail isnt accurate.

A diagnosis made many, many years ago. Many things have changed, as you pointed out, laws themselves. So has diagnosis criteria. Psychology experts have repeatedly stated that it doesnt require a single incident of actual abuse to be diagnosed as a pedo, a fact you wish to overlook.
