Sarkozy Secured Polanski's Release?
According to Roman Polanski's sister-in-law, French President Nicolas Sarkozy was instrumental in assuring the director's release from prison. "I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is thanks to the president that Roman has been freed, but he has been super," said Mathilde Seigner, the sister of Polanski's wife Emmanuelle. Some have speculated that Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni, who used to run in the same artistic circles as Polanski and Seigner, pressured her husband to intervene. Polanski, arrested by the Swiss at the behest of the U.S. on a 1977 rape warrant, will be moved from prison to his chalet after he puts up his $4.5 million bail, and will be monitored via an electronic bracelet.

Way to go France. No wonder this piece of scum's victim lost hope that she will ever get justice. It's seems that the French elite are bound and determined to protect a pedophile simply because he is a rich and famous artist.
Since Sarkozy's wife Carla Bruni is going to be working with Woody Allen, they might as well go full out and adopt ALL famous pedophiles.
Shit head Polanski was sentenced to pay his victim $500 000....which he never did.
She won the lawsuit but he defaulted on the judgement. Scumbag who drugs, rapes and sodimizes a 13 yr old is crying because he couldn't hack a little time in a cushy Swiss jail. I hope someone shanked him there already.
1) Samantha Geimer has gone on the record to say that due to being attacked by the media and Polanski's Hollywood friends who have called her every name in the book including being a 13-year old prostitute, that she realized that she will NEVER get justice and doesn't care any more. So she decided to seek damages in a civil suit. If she weren't interested in justice, she wouldn't have gone to civil court.
2) Although Polanski lost the civil suite, he tried to get out of paying her for years. He continues to believe he is above the law. Thanks to his famous friends, he will continue to live above the law.
3) If you drug, rape, and sodomize a 13-year old girl (there were like over 10 charges total), you don't get a 42 day psych consult. You go to PRISON for over TWENTY YEARS. It was completely inappropriate to have sent a rapist to a psych consult instead of locking him up. The courts were NOT following the law. They decided to treat Polanski special from any average person because of his fame and wealth. The courts threw that 13-year old girl under the bus because they were star-struck.

4) We are a country of laws. Laws that should be applied EQUALLY to both the rich and the poor. Unless you believe that we should change our laws so that rich and famous people are allowed to rape, steal, and murder without any consequences. In which case, take it to the Supreme court first.
