BrunoBrimley 86 Posted September 27, 2009 .................Which of the Manson gang do you think will be next to go? I think either Manson or Kasabian . I would like to nominate Vincent Bugliosi the chief prosecutor in the trial thingy of Charles 'Chuckles' Manson. Vinnie is currently 65 years old. In other Manson related news, the husband/widower of victim Sharon Tate, one Roman Polanski has been taken into custody over in Swaziland. Make that Switzerland. He is expected to be accepted into United Atab Emirates cust..... ....oh. My advisors tell me that he will be taken to Yemen before boarding a plane bound for the United States where he has had a cell waiting since pleading guilty some years back to unlawful relations with a minor. Polanski is 66 as of August 18 of this year, which brings us to the odd item. Vincent Buugliosi, the Manson prosecuutor was born on Auguust 18 the year after Polanski was born. What are the odds of that happening? At any rate----and bank loanage rates are lower now than they have been in years-----Bugliosi is 65. I cast my vote for Bugliosi. Now more on Polanski:::::: BBC News on Pollansi detention in Zurich which reads in part:::: Director Roman Polanski has been taken into custody on a 31-year-old US arrest warrant, Swiss police have confirmed. The film-maker, 76, was detained on Saturday as he travelled to Switzerland to collect a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival. Mr Polanski admitted unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in the US in 1977, but fled to France before sentencing. In recent years, he has tried to have the rape case dismissed, but a US judge formally rejected his requests in May. Mr Polanski was initially indicted on six felony counts and faced up to life in prison. He claims the original judge, who is now dead, arranged a plea bargain but later reneged. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that they probably could have nabbed him countless times in the past 30 years but waited until 'justice' was finally handed out to one of his wife's murderers before making a move.

CarolAnn 926 Posted October 28, 2009 Roman Polanski's Victim Wants The Charges Dropped She's wanted that for ages, but the recent upsurge in publicity has - apparently - had a serious health impact on her. And, instead of putting the blame where the blame is due, she is becoming another Polanski apologist. Fortunately the state brings criminal charges, not the victim. Besides, the charges can't be dropped. He's been convicted. His conviction could be vacated, but the charges are done. He's guilty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted October 28, 2009 Also intresting, Gore Vidal's views on the Polanski case In September, director Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland for leaving the U.S. in 1978 before being sentenced to prison for raping a 13-year-old girl at Jack Nicholson’s house in Hollywood. During the time of the original incident, you were working in the industry, and you and Polanski had a common friend in theater critic and producer Kenneth Tynan. So what’s your take on Polanski, this many years later? I really don’t give a feck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of? I’ve certainly never heard that take on the story before. First, I was in the middle of all that. Back then, we all were. Everybody knew everybody else. There was a totally different story at the time that doesn’t resemble anything that we’re now being told. What do you mean? The media can’t get anything straight. Plus, there’s usually an anti-Semitic and anti-fag thing going on with the press – lots of crazy things. The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, Polacko – that’s what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now from what it was then. You think anti-Semitism is motivating the prosecution of Polanski? Anti-Semitism got poor Polanski. He was also a foreigner. He did not subscribe to American values in the least. To [his persecutors], that seemed vicious and unnatural. What an entertaining interview. I shows that there are still things posted on this forum that are worth reading.

millwall32 114 Posted November 26, 2009 Roman Polanski's Victim Wants The Charges Dropped She's wanted that for ages, but the recent upsurge in publicity has - apparently - had a serious health impact on her. tricky one for me morally speaking. I know that she wants the charges dropped and that must carry some weight but after drugging and raping a 13/14 (I cant remember which) year old girl you should have do some time or receive some sort of punishment. Also, if he is out in prison (which seems unlikely) I dont think that there is any point in outting him on the main DL list on the grounds that he is a suicide watch. If you look at bis history he is too much of a survivor to do a thing like that. (IMHO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted September 28, 2011 Today he received the lifetime achievement award he was to accept in Zurich when he was arrested by the Swiss police in 2009. Normally such awards are a kiss of death, but it seems he got away. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Roman Polanski is scum Posted November 27, 2015 Darn! I was hoping this child rapist was dead when I saw his name listed today. There have been several rapes of young women and girls throughout the years done by this monster, in addition to the 'famous' one in the 1970s. The man is a real peach.
