I keep reading about this, and it scares me how many people are saying he shouldn't be extradited. I think DXM makes the point better than I ever could here and here:
I don't care if Polanski's entire career since 1977 could in fact be directly attributed to his desire to atone for having raped a 13 year old girl. He never took responsibility for what he did on terms that weren't completely his own, and he has to now. Period.
And that's the truth.
