That is not the standard of law, my friend. Simply because someone eluded the law for thirty years does not justify a dismissal of charges. Remember also that the victim was paid by Polanski which is part of the reason she is saying the case should be dismissed. Frankly, if Mr. Polanski was innocent than why did he run and avoid all countries with extradition treaties for thirty years? WHy also did he pay the victim? This is a case of justice delayed....it doesn't mean that justice should be denied.
