Roman Polanski is wanted and desired by a Judge in Los Angeles.

United States has finally filed a formal extradition request to Switzerland for Roman Polanski. Swiss will discuss this in court soon, and Polanski’s attorneys can appeal their decision, and drag it out.

Polanski will remain locked up during his expected appeal, because he was denied bail last week. His attorney claimed that needed to be released, because his family would go bankrupt if he is unable to complete his latest film, “The Ghost.” It is the tenth film Polanski has directed since he became a fugitive in 1977.

A spokeswoman for California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said Polanski faces up to two years in prison. Under Swiss laws he can only be extradited for his original crime, not for jumping bail.

French Update

I previously wondered why French think Polanski should be freed, and I am more confused now.

There are now 833 names on the SACD petition, and three other prominent Frenchmen have argued that Polanski should be freed.

French President Nicholas Sarkozy said:

“I understand that people are shocked by the gravity of the accusations against Roman Polanski. But I add that it is not a good administration of justice to do this 32 years after the facts when the person concerned is today 76 years old.”

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, best known as co-founder of Doctors Without Borders said:

“A man of such talent, recognized in the entire world, recognized especially in the country that arrested him — all this just isn’t nice”

Finally, Frédéric Mitterrand, French Minister of Culture and Communication, and nephew of former President Miterrand said:

“To see him like that, thrown to the lions because of ancient history, really doesn’t make any sense”

Critics of Miterrand noted that in 2005, he published an “autobiographical novel,” The Bad Life, where he described having sex with young male prostitutes in Thailand. Mitterand responded, saying:

“I condemn pedophilia, which I have never in any way participated in”

Then why is he defending a pedophile?

In 1977, a 44-year-old man, was arrested after he raped a 13-year-old girl. A Los Angeles Grand Jury indicted this miscreant for “rape by the use of drugs”. Indictment said he:

“did willfully unlawfully and feloniously have and accomplish an act of sexual intercourse with a thirteen-year-old girl, she then and there being rendered temporarily incapable of giving legal consent to the commission of said act by the administration to her of intoxicating narcotic, anesthetic substance, controlled substance, and intoxicating liquor, to wit, Quaalude and alcohol…”

He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of “unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor” and was sent to Chino State Prison, for 90 days of psychiatric evaluations. Pervert was released after 42 days, and awaited sentencing.

This demented deviant inexplicably expected to be placed on probation, and avoid prison. On the day before his sentencing, he somehow learned that he would be sent to prison, and deported when he was released. So he avoided the company of other convicted perverts, by fleeing to Europe, where he has lived a charmed life, for over 30 years.

You Are A Winner!

Just like illegal aliens, who are arrested after winning lotteries, this pretentious pedophile was lured with a prize. Only his prize was a lifetime achievement award at Zurich Film Festival!

Sandi Gibbons, of Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said:

“It wasn’t a big secret that he was going to be in Zurich. They had announced he was going on the Internet.”

Degenerate’s name is Roman Polanski. He is 76-years-old, and I hope he spends the remainder of his life consorting with other criminals in prison, for raping Samantha Geimer. In 2003, she said:

It was not consensual sex by any means. I said no, repeatedly, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. I was alone and I didn’t know what to do. It was scary and, looking back, very creepy. Those may sound like kindergarten words, but that’s the way it feels to me.

Polanski almost got away with it. In a 2003 interview with Larry King, Geimer said:

I told him (boyfriend) what happened and my sister overheard me because she happened to be outside my room, and then told my mom.

Her mother sued him, and they reached an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount of money. Geimer has asked for Pervert Polanski to be released, but this may have been part of their settlement.

Looking For A Loophole

In 2008, New York Times reported that Polanski’s attorney, Chad S. Hummel, wanted the charges dropped, based upon an interview in a 2008 documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. The title refers to Polanski being “wanted” in USA, but “desired” by clueless French fans, who apparently do not believe that it is a big deal for a 44-year-old man to rape and traumatize a 13-year-old girl. Hummel asserts that Judge Laurence J. Rittenband, engaged in “repeated unethical and unlawful ex parte communications,” by obtaining advice from Deputy District Attorney, David Wells.

Apparently, Rittenbrand wanted to release Polanski, until Wells showed him a photo of Polanski, then out on bail, with two young women in Munich, and said:

“Look here. He’s flipping you off”

People ask me computer questions all the time. I do not understand why a Judge cannot be advised by an attorney, in the same office. Isn’t it the same thing?

Hummel’s argument is that California Code of Judicial Ethics (PDF) forbids two parties to discuss a case, where only one side is represented. Wells was not an attorney on this case, but he worked for State of California, which charged Polanski with raping the young girl. However, his statement cannot be corrobrated, because Judge Rittenbrand has died.

UPDATE: David Wells Lied!

A few minutes after I published this article, New York Times reported that David Wells lied! Wells said:

“I’ve got to tell you, I lied. I tried to butter up this story to make me look better.”

There goes Pervert Polanski’s defense! Wells added:

“If it happened, it would have been unethical”

Which is just what Chad S. Hummel, Polanski’s attorney complained about!

Yahoo News reported that Wells said he “embellished” story, because he was told that film would be shown in France, not United States. Wells retired two years ago.

Camera Shy?

An excellent article by Bill Wyman (not the Rolling Stone), Whitewashing Roman Polanski, suggests that Polanski did not return to court because he was spooked by courtroom cameras too.

Perverts for Polanski

SACD, a French organization, which “collects and distributes authors’ royalties and fees for 45,000 authors in the field of the performing arts and audiovisual media,” also believes that 44-year-old men should be allowed to rape 13-year-old girls. I am not sure if it extends this belief to all pedophiles, or just perverts like Roman Polanski, who contribute cash to their organization. I do not understand the laws or customs of France; perhaps they consider the act of raping and traumatizing young girls, a recreational activity, like bowling. In any event, I strongly advise any American family, who wants to visit their perverted provinces, to leave their young daughters at home!

If any members of this French society of sexual deviant lovers read this article, I hope they leave a comment, and explain this practice to me, and the thousands of Where Did My Brain Go? visitors, who will eventually read this article too.

Since there is no extradition policy between France and USA, maybe they just hate American laws, who knows?

Say It Loud! I Like Pedophiles and I Am Proud!

SACD, which should clarify its beliefs, by changing its motto from “A Society for and by authors” – to “Society for and by perverted authors and their friends” – has actually done something good. They have made it easy for people like me, fathers of daughters, who abhor pedophiles, to avoid supporting them. SACD circulated a petition, which has been signed by members of the performing arts community, who are rankled by Roman Polanski’s arrest for raping a 13-year-old girl. They are not a bunch of misguided misogynists, because female names appear on this list of looney lewdies too.

I do not recognize all their names, but I will never watch another movie which lists these pedophile-lovers in the credits.

Finally, if you believe that 44-year-old men should be permitted to rape 13-year-old girls, you can add your name to this vile list, by sending an email to freeromanpolanski@sacd.fr with a subject of “Petition Roman Polanski” to show your support. Just don’t tell me about it!
