Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You know, I am sorry I waded into this one. I'm honestly not trying to defend the man--what he did was reprehensible and I can honestly say that if anyone did anything like that to Abby, it would be me in prison. Period. No questions asked. However, I do think that while at one time this might have been a black and white case with very clear parameters, the passage of time has added layers and rendered those parameters somewhat moot. Or at least, shaded them with a whole lot of gray. And where the majority of those shades of gray come in for me are not so much for Polanski, but with respect to the victim. If she said, "Yes, please, convict him, bring him to justice," as the adult she is now, I'd be there waving a flag and saying, "Hell yeah." But she's said repeatedly now, as an adult, that she doesn't. Prosecuting Polanski may be the right thing to do by the letter of the law, but is it the right thing to do for the victim.
I'm going to leave it alone now. Promise.
Got the job! It's all good!
WOOHOO!!!
Yay, Dana!!
I'm not using it as an excuse for now but rather for the attitudes and mores of that particular time and place. I'm not saying they were right, they just were.
Then he should have taken the opportunity to be sentenced in that particular time and place.
Congrats, Dana!
Yay Dana!
Way to go, Dana!
Yay Dana!
