If Roman Polanski were a plumber from Hoboken, who would be petitioning for his release?
Justice is supposed to be blind. Being a creative genius isn't grounds for clemency. Neither is being a holocaust survivor.
Some situations are complicated; this one isn't. Polanski committed a terrible crime, and admitted his guilt. He should be punished. Justice delayed is better than no justice at all.
I was shocked when I read earlier that he had been released. This needed to be said by someone.
