Courts' Legal Documents Against Criminal Polanski Was Released In Favor Of The 13 Years Old Girl

The Legal Order The county district attorney's office said the court charges the unsealing of the conditional deposition transcript of Roger Gunson, the original prosecutor in the Los Angeles County case. However, there was no such word on when the papers would be made viral. A call seeking comment from Polanski's near one in Los Angeles, Jeff Berg, was not picked up Wednesday night. But Harland Braun, Polanski's legal eagle, told the Los Angeles Times that his patron was "ecstatic" over the 2nd District Court of Appeal order. About Polanski Polanski (88 Years Old), who won the best director Oscar for "The Pianist" in 2003, remains a fugitive after pleading guilty in 1977 to unlawful sex with a minor and fleeing the United States for France on the eve of sentencing the following year.

The Rejection France, Switzerland, and Poland rejected bids to deport him back to the United States, and he continues to be feted in Europe, winning praise and working with prominent actors. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled him from its membership in 2018. The Past Scene At Polanski's trial, the victim noticed that during a photo captured at Jack Nicholson's home in March 1977, when the actor was not a house, the criminal gave her champagne and part of a sedative, then accused her of having sex without her permission. The girl said she did not fight him because she feared him, but her mother later called the cops. But in the year 2010's interview with CNN, the victim, Samantha Geimer, said she thought the judge in Polanski's case had been dishonest with him.

The Year 2017 In 2017, Geimer saw in a Los Angeles courtroom asking a chairperson to end the case, calling it a "40-year-sentence" imposed on the two, including her and the director. The plea was not accepted. The criminal has long argued that there was judicial misconduct in his case. In the year 2010, a Los Angeles court took sealed testimony from Gunson about his recollections of promises made to the director by the judge in 1977. Arguments By Polanski Polanski said the Gunson transcript would show that the L.A. County Superior Court judge, Laurence Rittenband, had intended that the criminal would serve only a 90-day evaluation in state jail after he pleaded accused. The director was freed after just 42 days, but the judge later tacked another 48 days, and Polanski fled.

The Fear Of Arrest The criminal's lawyers had long sought the unsealing of that testimony, believing the transcript might give way to their case. Braun told the Times that after he noticed the transcript, he would ask to have Polanski sentenced to time served, which might permit him to return to the U.S. without fear of arrest. The Fresh Look At The Old Case Geimer, who has pressed for an investigation of alleged judicial misconduct, also had asked that the transcript be unsealed, and in a letter last month, she urged the DA's office to take a fresh look at the case. 

The Objection Releasing By Geimer's Wishes The office had argued to releasing the material for years but rescinded the arguments earlier this week, saying it was heeding Geimer's shake. "At last, after decades of waiting, the victim had her request granted, and her voice heard," the DA's office said Wednesday. The Statement By District Attorney George  "We are happy the appellate court agreed with both the victim and our office about the need for transparency," District Attorney George Gascón said in conclusion. "We wish it pays her a small measure of assurity that actually, she can have some measure of near in this decades-long litigation." According to the DA's office conclusion, Geimer was notified of the decision and was grateful, stating, "It's never too late to do the right thing."
