this is why the fucker Polanski ran. 48 days. the reneging on deal, 48 fuckin days.

[seabeyond]

But the original judge in the case, who is now dead, first sent the director to maximum-security prison for 42 days while he underwent psychological testing. Then, on the eve of his sentencing, the judge told attorneys he was inclined to send Polanski back to prison for another 48 days.



http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/29/polanski.filmmakers.protest/index.html





HOW dare the judge want to have Polanski finish out the mere and measly 90 days that he had sent the man in for psych eval.

what an arrogant man Polanski is,... 48 days. Polanski throwing a fit about judge reneging on deal and judge was really gonna go after Polanski, bad judge, really breaking a deal. 48 fuckin days

the man would have spent a FULL FUCKIN 90 days for raping a girl. a whole fuckin 90 days. and the man ran

what a little piece of chicken shit nothing Polanski is

48 days is what people have been yelling about with the judge reneging. 48 days is the MISCONDUCT of the judge. Polanski rapes the girl and judge is the bad guy cause he wants Polanski to do 48 more days.

after reading the article and the producers DEMANDING u.s. release Polanski, i got to that 48 days in the article and just who do these people think they are. throw his ass in jail....

[madokie]

1. Throw his sorry ass in jail so far they have to pipe sunshine in

and shoot beans with a cannon for him to eat. fuck roman polanski, may he die incarcerated. It wouldn't bother me if his death was at the hands of his cellmate, for the animal has no right to life. IMHO

[seabeyond]

3. lol, a tad harsh. dont know if i would go that far. but geez the arrogance of these people

the article is producers DEMAND..... who the fuck are they

havent had enough coffee yet either.

[madokie]

5. Sorry bout that

harshness that is. For the most part I hide the puke polanski threads but for some reason I was drawn to this one and boy did it not bring out the worst in me I must say.:hi:

[seabeyond]

6. lol. that is how i was. i never type before coffee. can barely read. but

i saw producers DEMAND... fuck them. then got to 48 fuckin days and i got so mad

i hear ya

i stopped going into polanski threads yesterday

just the arrogance. just puke

[cali]

2. whatever.

Polanski will be extradited to the U.S. and whatever happens will happen.

[seabeyond]

4. i was just surprised it was all about finishing 90 day sentence. that is all it was. nt

[customerserviceguy]

9. Maybe what happens

is that he will experience the victim's side of a sex crime.

[cali]

12. I certainly hope not. I'm against all rape.

you sound like you think that would be a dandy thing. That's sick, dear.

[customerserviceguy]

43. I didn't say whether I favored it or not

I will let each reader of my comment bring his or her own experiences and feelings to interpret it.

[liberalmuse]

7. Incredible, isn't it?

This goes to show that if you have money and/or fame, you can get away with anything. Jesus, I posted a few days ago that he should have stayed and taken his punishment back then since rapists tend to get a slap on the wrist here in the states. That's most especially true if you have $ and friends in high places.

[seabeyond]

15. what is really pissin me off, driving kids to school. producers DEMAND his release

they DEMAND he be released. a girl raped and they make demands. asshole actresses supporting this creep for rape

where are the women of hollywood standing up for a female raped

this is the most clear evidence of the fuckin male privilige we have seen in a long long time and women go along.

(i dont know if you are male or female and not going after you if you are male. i love ALL the men that are pissed about this too. because all the gender gets it with creeps like this and so much wrong in that. especially as there are so many many men on du calling this out.)

[Odin2005]

23. It's shocking.

:puke:

[spiritual_gunfighter]

41. What pisses me off

are all the people on DU promulgating the meme that the "judge reneged on the plea agreement so it was okay that he ran". I had no idea that the plea agreement that he reneged on would be that he was sentenced to ONLY 90 DAYS!!!! Fuck Polanski and fuck those on DU that are apologists for that scumbag.

[seabeyond]

42. that is what got me this morning, before coffee, before i could barely read

and had the toughes time typing. yes

[tularetom]

8. All this uproar over 48 friggin days?

Sure glad nobody has anything else to get excited about.

[seabeyond]

16. it is not about everyone else. it is about a man that rapes and 48 days is excessive punishment

it is about a hollywood crowd ignore rape and DEMAND this man let go for rape.

it is about condoning raping a girl

[tularetom]

20. Guess I didn't say that very well

Actually I learned more from your post than I ever knew about this.

I'm as pissed as you are that this POS was gonna get with a 90 day sentence.

Far as I'm concerned he should have gotten 90 years. I hope they throw his ass under the jail when they get him back here.

I just don't think the outrage, either for or against him, is worth a brazillion threads here on DU. It's not like we don't have other things to worry about.

[seabeyond]

24. i hear you. i so hear you. yesterday was done. not on any more threads. was done with

subject.

it had been a couple days on threads learning what had happened, trying to get info. in past, i hadnt cared about it or thought much of it. just didnt watch his movies. that was my stance. i didnt know the girl had been flat out raped.

but i was done yesterday

and felt good

then read fuckin 48 days and asshole male producers DEMANDING he released adn women actresses saying let him go. no female in hollywood saying asshole raped.

and i got pissed all over again

but i do hear ya on the threads on du thing

just fuckin 48 days. listening to all these people say how judge reneged and gonna throw book at him. we couldnt find info. 48 friggin days.

[KharmaTrain]

10. Had He Been Caught Today...

I know someone who was convicted of having sex with a 16 year old. He ended up doing 3 years in prison for far less than what Polanski was accused of. I'm not up to snuff on California law, but if he had been found guilty of just the one charge in this state, he'd face a minimum of 3 years in a state facility and then monitored constantly upon parole being forced to move if he resides too close to a school or family with children.

Add to this his jumping the conditions of his bail...another crime that would surely tack on time for a convict without the fame. There's no defense of his fleeing...had he felt he was wronged during the trial, that's what appeals are for.

[Hannah Bell]

11. i wonder how many of the folks calling for his head have swiss bank accounts

with ubs.

[cali]

13. I doubt too many people here have swiss bank accounts, sweetie.

but that's totally beside the point in any case. trust you to leap to the inane.

[seabeyond]

17. hm.... since the rich are DEMANDING he be released, i woud imagine not many. nt

[Hannah Bell]

19. here at DU? hadn;t noticed anyone demanding his release, just villagers screaming

for his head & dick.

[seabeyond]

21. not like there arent the same village screamers demanding a rapist be left alone

hm

if i choose which camp to be in, i will take the village screamer that say no to rape.

and i am talking about the people that have the money for those actual swiss accounts you talk about. they are demanding

but really, if you have lost touch with reality so much that you think all us saying no to rape have swiss acct... not surprised with your position.

[Hannah Bell]

25. you borrow my trope & you didn't even get the point.

i'm a foreigner, btw, not a villager.

[seabeyond]

26. nah.... you arent. just more of your story you tell self. good try though. nt

[Hannah Bell]

29. whatever you say, ms solipsist. no other minds in the universe but yours.

[seabeyond]

31. saying no to rape is really really easy. what can i say. nt

[Hannah Bell]

32. non-seq. not unexpected in conversations with solipsists. cause they're only talking to themselves.

[seabeyond]

34. ya, you and yours ignore rape. non seq for all of you. hence the problem. nt

[seabeyond]

28. forty fuckin eight days is the renegin you all were yelling about. forty fuckin eight days

and the judge was way out there, throwin the fuckin book at him

48 days

[Hannah Bell]

30. what;s a renegin? whatever it is, i never said word one about 48 days.

you only hear yourself.

[seabeyond]

33. no. no one said what the out of control judge was all about. just he is reneging on plea deal

bad judge, so unffair.... he made the asshole run. he was gonna throw book at little ole, poor picked on polanski.... make him serve

well fuck

48 fuckin days to finish out the 90 days

you are right

you guys never said what the out of control bad judge was going to do to asshole polanski.

48 days

[Hannah Bell]

35. i think you're typing too fast.

[Gwendolyn]

37. I hope you never plan to go for your P.I. license.

But with all your investigative sleuthing and frothing obsession with this case, you'd think you would have at least improved your reading comprehension a little. :rofl:

It wasn't about "48 days." While those may have been the sarcastic words that came out of the judge's mouth, in actuality, what he meant was that Polanski would probably be facing many years in prison, plus deportation. That's been confirmed by the prosecutor, and that's why Polanski ran.

[seabeyond]

38. shit. life is just really unfair. you were able to get to my post thru your god forsaken country

you are stuck in

[dysfunctional press]

27. not me- i keep my all funds in lichtenstein.

:eyes:

[Forkboy]

45. All my assets are tied up in gold dubloons.

[ejpoeta]

14. what i don't get is this... he could have just done his time and been done with it

instead of running. now his sister in law was on the today show saying how our system is broken and it wasn't rape even though he had sex with a 12 or 13 year old. wtf is that!! it shouldn't be rape if the boy is 15 and the girl is 13, but how the hell old was polanski!! it was RAPE!! a 13 year old who is with an adult... and one who she probably trusted as an adult who instead got her drunk and drugged and had sex with her.... you would think since he ran he was sentenced to like 40 years or something. 48 days!! wtf! oh, and since it's been so long, we should just all forget about it. yeah, right. that in the same breath as she said she went to the parole hearing for that girl from the mansons to make sure she didn't get out of prison. I know it's not the same thing... murder and rape.... but it's funny how a woman who was dying who spent how many years in prison shouldn't be allowed out to die with her family... while this guy evades his sentence for decades and now everyone should just let it go. if this manson woman had evaded her sentence for twenty or thirty years, would tate's sister be saying to let bygones be bygones??? i don't think so.

[seabeyond]

18. exactly. and was RAPE. 13 yr old said no, stop, take me home, several times.

he was 44

but your post is exactly right

all these people are saying rape dopes not matter

[Odin2005]

22. Toss him in jail for the rest of his life.

[dugaresa]

40. Holy shit, the judge was fearful of not sentencing him harshly?? is that what I read?

"In the February hearing, Espinoza mentioned a documentary film, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," that depicts backroom deals between prosecutors and a media-obsessed judge who was worried his image would suffer if he didn't send Polanski to prison. "

What the f*ck?

the judge was worried that he would suffer if he didn't send him to prison, why because ole Roman was some director? cuz he was famous? and this judge was media obsessed and didn't want to upset the hollywood elite?

This article makes me think he should go to prison for 3 years at the very least and get time tacked on for running.

[Thickasabrick]

44. There are varying stories on this. I've read 50 years and 100 years.

Here is another account:

Polanski was released after 42 days of his 90-day term, but here the story gets complicated. Polanski had been led to believe by Rittenband that after Chino, his time behind bars would be over. However, the judge was overheard boasting at his country club that he would put Polanski away "for 100 years".

This was just part of Rittenband's bizarre behaviour. We learn from Zenovich's film that the judge, anxious to impress on the media that he was in control of proceedings, twice proposed to prosecuting Assistant District Attorney Roger Gunson and to Polanski's defence lawyer Douglas Dalton that they should plead their cases to him, after which he would pronounce a sentence that he had decided beforehand – in effect, amounting to a mock trial. We learn that Rittenband was inordinately influenced by publicity, and that, quite inappropriately, he solicited other people's advice on how he should act: one of them, reporter Richard Brenneman, who was startled to be asked, "What the hell do I do with Polanski?"

In the documentary, Geimer says of Rittenband, "He didn't care what happened to me, and he didn't care what happened to Polanski. He was orchestrating some little show ' that I didn't want to be in." Even Gunson comments – and this is the prosecutor, mark you – "I'm not surprised that left under those circumstances."

Jeezus this whole country is fucking obsessed with celebrity scandals.

You are all playing a fiddle while Rome is burning.
