Thread Name: BS: Should Polanski be extradited to the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Should Polanski be extradited to the USA
How would a guilty plea be nullified by flight? Polanski stands convicted of one count of unlawful sex with a minor. As far as the other charges, they were dropped, and reinstatement is unlikely-- a cursory examination of California law, seems to show that the statute of limitations has run out.

Incidentally, though I have said it before, my feeling about Polanski is one of total repulsion.
