Rapist Escapes Justice (And It's Not The In UK)

Roman Polanski and admitted child rapist has escaped extradition to the US to be sentenced for photographing a thirteen year old girl while she was topless, before drugging, raping and sodomising her ..... I repeat, she was only thirteen years old.

What sort of people in Switzerland believe that this crime is something for which there should be no punishment? Would they like Polanski to do this to their thirteen year old daughters or grand daughters?

A Happy Rapist?

The reason for this extraordinary decision (which by the way, the US is not allowed to appeal), is as follows: "The reason for the decision lies in the fact that it was not possible to exclude with the necessary certainty a fault in the US extraditionary request." which is legalise crap for 'we don't like you or your open justice system, we don't care that he admitted to 'unlawful sex' (as a plea bargain to spare the child a court appearance), and we can't prove that there isn't some hidden flaw in your request, so we will assume that there is and throw it out'.

Absolutely shameful and on a par with some third world nations idea of justice.

If I was the US president I would make Switzerland wince for this decision by blocking their banks etc from access to the US systems, and restricting Swiss travel to the US ..... maybe that would make them consider again ..... but no doubt the US will do nothing and Polanski will go to his grave untroubled by his crimes.

I repeat, there is one justice for you and me, and another for the rich and powerful, and none for the poor

  1. Its a strange sort of justice which says that, if you live like a millionaire for 30 yrs, that is just like serving the prison sentence that you never served.

    Must be a Swizz, sorry Swiss thing?
