There are a large number of people that have signed a petition for the immediate release of Roman Polanski and for all charges against him to be immediately dropped.
In case you missed it, Polanski was arrested when he arrived in Switzerland for a film festival on an outstanding arrest warrant stemming from his fleeing the U.S. after pleading guilty to having sex with a 13-year old girl after getting her drunk and slipping her drugs.
And the authorities had the gall to arrest him on the way to their all-important film festival.
The signatories are almost exclusively members of the French Film industry, but there are a couple of Americans on the list: Woody Allen and Penelope Cruz.
Add Whoopi Goldberg to the list of American apologists for Polanski.
These people are defending the indefensible and need to face the consequences.
Beginning of the End?
