Justice – 1, Polanski – 0
Roman Polanski lost Round 1 in his effort to continue evading justice, as the Swiss Justice Ministry rejected his petition to be freed on bail while awaiting extradition. According to news reports, Polanski could actually remain in his Swiss jail cell for months while the process unfolds. In a dry irony, Ministry spokesman Folco Galli said that, “we continue to be of the opinion that there is a high risk of flight.” Really? By a fugitive who has remained in flight for over 30 years? You don’t say… Regardless, it’s nice to see a victory for the forces of justice over the forces of celebrity.
