Irrespective of your own feelings on the matter, surely that is her choice?

Well it was certainly very Helen Mirren of her. Very ladylike. You have to admire women who know how to stay ladylike in the face of rape. It's always best to not make too big a fuss over it. Quite unbecoming otherwise...
 
I have to disagree with #3. There are most definitely people who would sink that low to win a custody battle. In fact, I knew a woman who was going to do it although she was going to have the son claim physical, not sexual abuse.

Of course that is true, to deny that is to ignore the ties of family and human nature. It is telling that the people who seek to deny that have never been married or had children.

Tough call. Example, in some murder cases the victim's family might say "I forgive you" to the murderer but the person still does the time. In Polanski's case he was never really punished, many in the industry actually came to his defense, he fled the country and continued to live the high life and make movies abroad.

Then his victim [Geimer] said that the judge "didn't care what happened" to her or Polanski, but "was orchestrating some little show,"[SUP][111][/SUP] while Gunson added, "I'm not surprised that Polanski left under those circumstances, . . . it was going to be a real circus."

There was actually documentary of the case that won awards in Europe. Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired

It's all just so sleazy.

Yes, there is no doubt that what he did was sleazy but nobody died and she has forgiven him, yet there are many that just want to use it as a cause celebre.
 
Polanski pleaded guilty, then he ran away to Europe before he could be sentenced.

I wasn't talking about Polanski so that's a red herring. I want to know how you can say that Zimmerman was found innocent because of lack of evidence yet have such certainty about a matter that didn't even go to trial, that is bloody hypocritical to my mind.
 
He ran away because he thought that he was going to be stitched up by the courts and he was right.

He pleaded guilty and ran away because he knew he was due punishment for his serious crime. What do you need to show guilt in your world? Do you have to have video, or would that just be "faked" because Polanski said it was? I wouldn't spit on Polanski if he was on fire.
