    Polanski drugged and anally raped a 13 year old child. Anyone who hears the guy confess to that should take an acquittal off the table.

    No one wants to be in prison. It’s understandable why someone would flee justice; but that doesn’t make it excusable.

      Agreed. I do not excuse him for his crimes in the least. I do again apologize for not seeing which community I was responding in. Nor have I ever seen one of Polanski’s movies, for what tiny bit that’s worth.

      In that sense it was a bad comparison to the Woody Allen example. I’m not trying to exonerate Polanski in anyone’s estimation.

      Dude was a creep.
