My guess is Polanski will never be extradited. Los Angeles
Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza has already ruled that
"substantial misconduct" occurred in the trial when the judge
arranged a plea agreement and then planned to renege on it.
The only reason he didn't throw the whole thing out was because
Polanski failed to show up in person. Polanski's lawyers were
in the process of appealing that when he was arrested.

Polanski will have to stay in Switzerland for awhile, the
extradition will fizzle and that will be that. Apparently
the state of California won't throw the case out unless
Polanski shows up in person and there's not an ice cubes
chance in hell Polanski ever does that, so back to status quo.

If you are correct, New Jersey, where in my youth well-off people
could get away with anything short of murder, became the norm, rather
than the exception. Michael Jackson must be trying to smile from his
rhinestone grave. I wonder if there is a special place in purgatory
for famous artistic child molesters? Some place with a soundtrac that
keeps repeating "Its all right honey, its all right, didn't Mommy say
it was OK?, no you just stay right there on the bed, don't cry baby,
drink up and spread those legs while I call up some more friends to
come on over."
Damn, what is this world coming to.
