Not likely at this point!
Roman Polanski‘s lawyers are arguing with California prosecutors for the dismissal of the director’s guilty plea for raping an underage girl from 1977 saying it was judicial misconduct.
Prosecutors are saying that Polanski should go to Los Angeles to face his sentencing first. Polanski could face up to two years in prison!
The appeals panel should rule within 90 days and they have the options of asking a lower court to consider dismissing the case or not doing anything.
Polanski’s lawyers want them to order a new hearing regarding the allegations of “backroom manipulations” by the judge back in ’77.
LA prosecutor Phyllis Asayama said that before anything of the sort can be considered, Polanski must come to Los Angeles.
We agree!
He should stop being a coward and let the case be finished properly and fairly once and for all!
