for me it is a simple list, only as i see it based on what i have read:
- he is not a hazard to society
- victim doesn't want him to be convicted, doesn't want publicity and emphasizes it wasn't rape at all
- mr. Polanski had a very traumatic past, which is not something to justify a crime or letting him go, but in a lot of courts in decent nations you have such a thing as a human aspect.
- he has shown to be a warm, generous man to those who are close to him and is of very high artistic value to many, for instance those who were victim of WWII.
- it's not like he is some sort of Gary Glitter, repeatedly travelling to poor countries to rape kids below 13 even
- most nations (in EU at least) have a period in which the crime expires, usually between 10 and 30 years, even for murder (!)- and yes, i grew up with a lot of work by Polanski and learned to appreciate the art cinema as i grew up. both my parents were of artistic nature (also professionally) in film etc. so i may be biased.
- i, personally(!) do not believe so much in justice for the sake of justice, as it sometimes can do more harm than good. Just as I am strongly opposed against the death penalty.
- I agree. Like Michael Jackson. Yeah he fiddled little boyz, but he music was off the chain yo!Khurram
