Roman Polanski, fugitive in Gstaad
You cannot because it would never happen. That we are still finagling in the
criminal justice system about bringing film director Roman Polanski to justice,
and suggesting we drop his case, reminds us how race and status and economics
define the justice our courts administer, with the help of the Swiss, in this
case.
How does society look itself in the mirror when this is how “justice” is
administered? How do we schizophrenically honor such a man because he is good
at his work? Can the California trial system permit another example of its
celebrity protection system?
