The Roman Polanski fiasco continues along at a snail's pace.
According to a spokesman, the Swiss courts will not rule on the issue of Polanski's extradition to the U.S. to face the music in Los Angeles, until California Appellate Justices rule on the question of the legality of a sentencing in abstentia.
In the event the U.S. Court rules in favor of a hearing in abstentia - and Polanski ends up facing less than six months behind bars, Swiss officials have noted for the record that they will not turn the aging Lothario over to authorities on these shores.
On the other hand, if the ruling does not pan out favorably for the respected film director, his lawyers will undoubtedly exhaust all legal options available ad nauseam (which is his right, of course).
In the final analysis, Polanski is wasting precious judicial resource, and stalling and delaying the inevitable either way.
Shame!
Mia Farrow in Polanski's Rosemary's Baby!
