The Curious Case of Roman Polanski

Today at lunch, my coworkers were discussing how Chicago would have been the perfect candidate for second place in the Olympic hosting bid war, and one thing led to another and pretty soon we turned to Roman Polanski.

Roman friggin' Polanski. I wonder if it's true there are actual Polanski supporters out there wishing for his unconditional release... or is it just media sensationalism at work? I mean seriously, why are we even debating his case? Because the victim wants to let it go to avoid ripping open old wounds? Or is it because he directed Pianist? This thing has me scratching my head. A rapist by any other name would be just as guilty. Or perhaps not.

Now I feel much better for skipping over Pianist back when it first came out :)
