: TalkLeftNew Revelation in Polanksi Sentencing in Absentia Pleading
By Jeralyn
Lawyers for the victim in Roman Polanski's 1977 case released a pleading it will file tomorrow in support of Polanski's request to be sentenced in absentia and to be sentenced to time served.
The victim's lawyer, Lawrence Silver, in joining Polanski's request, includes this new information:
In a new revelation, Silver wrote in his legal filing that he witnessed [Judge]Rittenband say in his chambers that no other incarceration would be imposed, only to then renege on his promise and threaten to send Polanski to an indeterminate prison sentence. Polanski fled the country soon after.
Polanski's lawyers have also filed a brief saying the prosecutors misled the Swiss in seeking his extradition warrant.
The hearing will be held Friday. Background is here.
