Fugitive director Roman Polanski might be able to weasel himself out of trouble after all.
An appellate court granted Polanski and his legal team an emergency stay, delaying his hearing so he can request that all the judges of the LA Superior Court be dismissed from the case on account of bias and prejudice.
Polanski’s legal hounds are asking that a judge outside of the LA Superior Court be brought in to hear his case for a dismissal of the charges all together.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past thirty years, Polanski pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl, whom he boozed and drugged before sleeping with. He then immediately fled to France, where he’s been in self-imposed exile for 3 decades.
The victim, Samantha Geimer, has written a couple letters asking for a dismissal, but the court won’t let him off. And now Polanski’s team is asking for new judges to review his request for a dismissal.
We think he’s a big fat coward!
