we talked a little bit last week about roman polanski we went through the ins
announced innings in outs that is of the roman polanski trial years ago is
fleeing to europe the recent arrest
i actually want to restate that my feelings on this got even stronger last
week i said
that it just seemed to me that
if he had
not if he had been convicted of something and did not serve his time
he is a fugitive and i can't think of any reason to free him so to speak or or
do whatever it is that
many if it may need method of his friends and other individuals are saying
so after hearing people like debra winger say this is all just about an
arcane technicality and if he had committed this crime in europe the
statute of limitations would have been up already so what are we really doing
arresting him now
and hearing whoopi goldberg on the view
if you haven't heard whoopi goldberg on the deal
take a listen to this
hot i wasn't
right right
embarrassing instead telluride as a child molester all the action that was
something i was something else but i don't believe it was rape rape and when
we get all information some mail tommy might have all i'm trying to get you to
understand
is when we're talking about was someone did and what they were charged with we
have to say what action was not what we going to watch he said he did he gave
her qua lucci gave a champagne
she was right he was thirteen years old and let's say there's a tornado right
hand
event that something effecting is all about she was still a child he has some
issues menacingly was charged with labor had
and then you
pled guilty to having sex with a minor
and he went to jail i want to read on our side tase and when they let him out
he said you know what this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail
amidst a and that's why less so that's why i want really quick as i want to
know exactly what we're talking about ok i'd like to know exactly what will be
stalking like whoopi goldberg
but i think that she is just wrong on this pics it wasn't republic it was just
great
there is a
it wasn't murder merritt was
martyr you now as it was just murder was admired her birder that it doesn't make
too much sense to me
so let's actually talk about what he did and what actually happened instead of
what we think was right now i have this transcript here
i say that lewis we were all play this transcript and you play the role
of the young girl
and that's just because i think i will not alter my voice in any way i was
reading you can just do a look at kind of a high do a michael jackson a
interpreting views
i'm going to be the quest on the media turning this is the exact exchange from
the trial with the young girl
did you take the typically lead
took part of it
words you get this part
plans to give it to me
after he kissed you did he say anything
did you say it then
no besides i was just going
no come on let's go home
what was said after you've indicated that you wanted to go home
when you were sitting on the couch
he said i'll take you home soon
then what happened
then you went down and started performing oral sex
what happened after that
he started to have intercourse with me
what did you say if anything
before he did that
i was mostly just on and off saying no stop
but i wasn't fighting really because by you know there was no one else there and
i had to replace ago what did he say if anything
he didn't answer me when i said no
did you resist at that time
a little bit we're not really because
because i was afraid of them
does that sound to you lou is like a brave brave or rape or sex with a minor
you tell me
arm
well i don't really use the term drapery her it sounds like a rape
yellow though this caller id
you know i agree with you and
i have to side with what ends up being that i had analyze ends up being
conservatives on this but can you let can you imagine and this is really the
but i'll leave this this topic with can you and madge and good read by the way
on that
i would i think it would've been better with the kind of a high girly voice
without my acting classes a long time ago
can you imagine if this guy roman polanski instead of being a movie
director
with the plots of hollywood friends
was a truck driver
if a truck driver flood after raping the girl thirty years ago who knows how many
years ago who would be saying
well let him go today or even worse imagine if this was a muslim
it would be on america's most wanted the day he left the united states
right would it not middle-eastern man convicted of that unlawful sex with a
minor flees to the middle east
mrs
to me
so different because it's roman polanski movie director then because it's bob the
truck driver or courses always different when it's a celebrity
we really
it's it's different
but it's not necessarily always more leniency i mean there's uh... look at
martha stewart she was made an example of that was the opposite i don't think
just because of the celebrity there's more leniency
well there was no way more leniency with marcus toward because of uh... how
little time she spent in prison
am i disagree i think martha stewart would have served no time if they didn't
want to do hammers she didn't go to jail for insider trading will be there yes
they wanted to make an example of her right i think it wasn't that she would
have serve more time i think she would have served no time
it if she had not been made an example out of especially given the fact that
she was not even convicted of insider trading
she's convicted of obstruction of justice
anyway not that i like martha stewart
now i mean i don't mind here let me turn out i want to say anything i don't mean
now that i want to defend her
uh... i just think that just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean they we
expect more leniency i think in this case if it's bob the truck driver or
mohammed that you man
we see a completely different attitude from everybody on this case
keep in mind that unfortunately were in a country where are usually drug charges
are more severe than rape charges yeah i don't know but usually but there's
there's evidence to suggest
but in the same states
crimes convicted by people of similar
background similar age
around similar times sometimes the drug crime will get wv a more severe
punishment than a crime of rape which may be pled down to unlawful sex with a
minor with a minor didn't want to have sex and was forced to yall not rape rape
according to will be but unlawful sex it you know over
i'm curious to see where this goes and i said it last week will continue to keep
an eye on it
