What does that mean on my planet??
So legal expert Whoopie Goldberg has stated that what Roman Polanski did wasn't "rape rape". What in the world is the difference between "rape" and "rape rape"?
There is a lot about what happened at Jack Nicholson's house between Roman Polanski and his victim that is not in the public eye. People have made up their minds without all of the facts, as evidenced by the Hollywood apologists for Polanski. I wonder if they knew what their hero said when he was interviewed so that a probation report could be prepared on him for the judge.
Example: Everyone who apologizes for the "alleged" child molester points out that he pled guilty to only the single count of Unlawful Sex with a Minor". They seem to forget that he was originally charged with Child Molesting, Furnishing Quaaludes to a Minor, Rape by use of Drugs, Oral Copulation, Sodomy and the count he ultimately pled guilty to. The other charges were dropped in a plea arrangement that was reached for the primary purpose of preventing the need for the victim to testify in court.
The time he spent behind "bars" prior to his fleeing the country wasn't a punishment it was part of a psychiatric evaluation period. Whoopie says that Polanski fled because he was afraid of being jailed for a hundred years. In fact, the most he could have gotten if the judge decided the original plea agreement wasn't valid was five years.
The lyrics for the old cop show Baretta include the phrase "Don't Do the Crime if You Can't Do the Time". He may be an Oscar winner, he may be a brilliant director and he may have suffered the loss of his wife in a heinous murder, but he did the crime here and he needs to be held accountable by being made to do the time.
Filmmaker Harvey Weinstein is circulating a petition to call for Polanski to be released and not extradited to the U.S. My response to this is that I will personally boycott all Weinstein Company films from this point forward.
