Just discovered an interesting tidbit on procedural matters in the case. Although Polanski pled guilty to single a misdemeanor charge (according to victim's attorney), he has never been sentenced. If it is a misdemeanor he pled to and the victim is not willing to testify in the other felony matters, then the most he could get would be 1 year in county jail less time served.
The original plea deal fell apart when judge wanted to reject the plea and resurrect other felonty charges and sentence him to 50 years. Judge did say before he died he would reduce the 50 provided he was deported. But a superior Court judge had no control over deportation matters.
The fleeing may be his bigger problem. And as far as the other sex charges he has a damn good speedy trial argument/defense.
