Polanski to Lawyer, “Prison Sucks!”

Director Roman Polanski is feeling depressed two weeks after his arrest in Switzerland to face U.S. extradition for a 1977 case involving the rape of a 13-year-old girl.

This is if you ask his lawyer, Herve Temime.

Temime, like all lawyers, suffers from stating the obvious about their clients while they are in prison and doing every thing they can to lie while in the courtroom.

“I found him to be tired and depressed,” Herve Temime told the Sonntag newspaper, one of two newspapers he talked to after visiting the Oscar-winning director in a Zurich prison.

“Roman Polanski, who is 76, seemed very dejected when I visited him,” Temime told another newspaper, NZZ am Sonntag.

No! Really! I was actually thinking Polanski would be “excited and elated to stay in such a fine housing project.”

This is one of the saddest attempts to generate pity for a client that I have heard in quite some time.

Are we all expected to feel bad for Polanski? Maybe if he would have turned himself in years ago like he should of, the 76 year old man would not feel so “tired.”

Swiss authorities rejected an appeal on Tuesday to release Polanski and also urged a Swiss court dealing with his extradition warrant to reject another appeal by Polanski’s lawyers to have him freed, and to refuse bail. Swiss officials have said they believe there is a very high risk of Polanski fleeing if he is released on bail.

Hmm, I wonder why?

Temime told the Sonntag newspaper the Swiss Federal Penal Court should decide “very soon” on his bid for release on bail.

“He would fulfill all the conditions and stay in Switzerland until the extradition proceeding are decided,” he said.

Somehow I do not buy into that statement.

Polanski pity cry is like what Terry Nichols (Oklahoma City bomber) made several months ago when he complained about prison food and said it gave him diarrhea. My friend, if you take innocent lives or rape underage children (even with consent), diarrhea is the last of your problems. When will these celebrities (in Polanski’s case) realize that they’re not above the law.

You run from the police for 50 years and you’re bound to get caught…and pay severely.

Polanski should not be shocked or even bitter about his recent arrest.
