Some things you may not have noticed about this Polanski business..
Advertisements [?]
the curious timing of this just after Atkinson died and a documentary has been made

that the US government was minimally involved, and it was entirely the LA prosecutors office pushing this

the LA DA was working in the prosecutors office when Polanski was indicted

the judge in the original case, who prided himself on being tough on celebrities, agreed to a couple of weeks in jail but then reneged on the deal

the original victim of the crime is no longer a teenager, and she and her family have made it known that Polanski and they have come to terms so it is far behind them and the DA is doing them no favors by bringing this up again

(Ahh... once again the cries of the righteous demanding the last drop of the blood of retribution. Must be music to some ears...)
