Two weeks ago, lawyers working for ‘exiled’ fugitive director/child predator suspect Roman Polanski were able to get California’s high courts to consider a motion that asked for all LA County judges to be disqualified from hearing the 31-year old rape because all 600+ judges that LA county employs could not be unbiased.
On Friday, a prosecutor finally responded on behalf of the county and urged an appellate court to reject the latest Polanski move.
In a 24-page brief submitted to the tribunal, the county says the allegation of bias is “patently frivolous” and based on “mere conclusions with no factual basis.”
It was also argued that no one who knew all the facts would doubt the impartiality of “the entire bench of the Los Angeles Superior Court”.
The Polanski move does sound a lot desperado to us!
