I keep thinking about the whole Roman Polanski thing. And I totally get where his supporters are coming from. If the judge, supposedly hungry for publicity, had accepted the plea deal instead of tossing it, then this would long be over. And his victim says that she has long ago moved on and seems to have more of a grudge with the media than her assailant. And I get that because of his advanced age, any jail time is basically a life sentence.
I get all that.
But what I keep coming back around to is this: If it had been one of my thirteen year old daughters who’d been drugged and raped, I’d be sitting in the front row in the courtroom waiting to see the bášŧárd sentenced. And I wouldn’t give a rip about his Oscar or his advanced age or anything except what he did to my little girl.
But that could just be me.
