Despite what one particular member here is trying to portray, I'm not supporting what Polanski did. What he did was stupid and sick and he should have paid a price for it. But that should have been through a jury trial, not some half baked agreement that they didn't even go through with. And there's more than one guilty party here. The girl's mother should have been charged with parental neglect or child endangerment or whatever similar offense existed at the time of the incident. If something like that happened today, she would have had her daughter taken away from her and she would have been charged as an accomplice to the alledged crime. I think her mother was a forerunner of Dina Lohan, Lindsey's mother, who will go to any lengths to live her life on her daughter's back. And she has another one waiting in the wings, unfortunately.
I totally agree with you & feel the same way. However, i do not agree with the lynch mob mentality of a few people posting in this thread. Thank goodness they're not running our justice system!
