I am so sad and angry and disappointed.
Roman Polanski raped a child and then escaped the US before he could be sentenced. Approximately 30 years later he is finally arrested. And another link, including excerpts from the testimony. And now people want to let him go.
There are more details within those links and they are potentially--probably--triggering.
There is also a blog, Not On, Hollywood, in which people are writing letters to those who signed the petition to free this rapist. (Mine is fairly easy to find; it's from Sam in Baltimore, MD)
I hate to wish ill on others. I do not wish for people to experience the crimes they've committed, because I do honestly believe that nobody deserves to suffer some things, not even those who have committed them. But I do wish that Polanski is judged in a fair trial for the full extent of his crimes, and I hope that the verdict is for him to remain in jail for the rest of his life until he does die of natural causes. I do sincerely wish that.
