Feeling a little bit depressed

Awwww... Poor widdle Roman Polanski -- from Yahoo News/Reuters:
Director Polanski feels depressed in jail: lawyer
Director Roman Polanski is feeling depressed two weeks after his arrest in Switzerland to face U.S. extradition for a 1977 case involving the rape of a 13-year-old girl, his lawyer was quoted as saying on Sunday.

"I found him to be tired and depressed," Herve Temime told the Sonntag newspaper, one of two newspapers he talked to after visiting the Oscar-winning director in a Zurich prison.

"Roman Polanski, who is 76, seemed very dejected when I visited him," Temime told another newspaper, NZZ am Sonntag.

"Polanski was in an unsettled state of mind."

Polanski pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977 and spent 42 days in prison undergoing psychiatric tests.

However, he fled before the case was concluded because he believed a judge would sentence him to up to 50 years behind bars despite a plea agreement for time already served.
And how did the 13-year-old girl feel. What it must have been like growing up under the shadow of being 'that' girl. She has since forgiven him but she was about 35 at the time. Let him be sentenced for the crime to which he plead guilty. And for those asshats (cough)Woody Allen(cough) and their ilk; a drop in revenues would be very appropriate. They live off the largess of the general public, let us show them that we do not like this sort of 'progressive' moronic behaviour... Posted by DaveH at October 11, 2009 8:02 PM
