When is rape not a crime?

[Contumacious]

In the 1991 book Presumed Guilty: When Innocent People Are Wrongly Convicted, author Martin Yant discusses the use of coercion in plea bargaining. (p. 172)

Even when the charges are more serious, prosecutors often can still bluff defense attorneys and their clients into pleading guilty to a lesser offense. As a result, people who might have been acquitted because of lack of evidence, but also who are in fact truly innocent, will often plead guilty to the charge. Why? In a word, fear. And the more numerous and serious the charges, studies have shown, the greater the fear. That explains why prosecutors sometimes seem to file every charge imaginable against defendants.

Seriously outdated information on Wicrapedia about a book written more than 15 years ago.

It took you an hour to finally admit that you are intellectually challenged? That you don't know you ass from a hole in the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep dreaming child rape enabler.

It will be a great day when your ass is penitrated over and over and we all laugh while the guy walks scott free.

Come on admit that you are grand standing for your parole officer - were you convicted of child abuse and now must show the world that you are reformed?!?!?!?!?.

What a filthy sack of pig shit.... I'll tell ya, some of these newbie rectums earn their neg rep in spades.

This case is only further proving that liberals are sick and twisted pieces of human garbage.
Just look at the ultimate liberal loon who has come to Polanski's defense:
WOODY ALLEN!
That LIBERAL scumbag RAPED his 12 year old daughter.
No wonder that LIBERAL scumbag is now coming to Polanski's defense.
Liberals are wastes of life, NOTHING MORE!

Polanski liked little girls. Just as he liked 13 year old Samantha Gailey, he also liked (and was involved with) 15 year old Nastassja Kinski.

8. In 1979 it's reported that Roman started a relationship with actress Nastassja Kinski when she was 15. She appeared in his Oscar nominated film Tess.

He was only 41 at the time..

Absolutely no telling what else that worm has done. I hope he spends the rest of his life behind bars. as someone's butt buddy.

He admitted it, the physical evidence corroborated the girls testimony, he's guilty. Admit that you would rather protect a pedophile on a technicality than see true justice.

He admitted NOTHING.

He accepted a plea of guilty in return for PROBATION. The plea was not accepted by the court so now he has a six amendment right to test the evidence via cross examination. He has a right to withdraw a plea .

In Ca a defendant may withdraw a plea if :

"There was a showing of duress, fraud, or other force overreaching the will of defendant or that defendant had been deprived of any right by an extrinsic cause."

A plea deal is worked out between the defense and prosecutors, the Defense and prosecutors knows full well going into this that the Judge can reject or accept it. The defense rolled the dice thinking the Judge will accept it and so did the prosecutor's because they thought if the mother didn't want to put her child on trial the judge will honor that. Well the judge decided to reject that offer.

It is nonsense and a myth to say that the judge reneged. For no judge is involved in the negotiations of any plea deal. Until it is presented to the Judge the parties involved do not know how the judge will rule.

He will be found guilty even if you throw out the confession, any attorney can prove his guilt for you have police statements and the mere fact that HE FLED is guilt.

Can't someone accidentally shoot the bastard to end this pointless debate?

He will be found guilty even if you throw out the confession, any attorney can prove his guilt for you have police statements and the mere fact that HE FLED is guilt.

I am certain that Switzerland will refuse to extradite him once evidence of judicial corruption is shown:


"Mr. Polanski’s lawyers, in an appellate court filing in August, said the district attorney’s office had avoided attempts at extradition, which might have resulted in hearings at which judicial misconduct would have been raised as an issue.

The question rises, in part, out of a documentary about the case released last year in which a deputy district attorney described how he had coached the now-deceased judge about Mr. Polanski’s sentencing.

Oh how the Marxist loves to praise the scum of the Earth why? Oh I get it, because they are of like minds they too are scum of the Earth.

You are aware that the former prosecutor David F. Wells testified he lied on that so called documentary right?

He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. The director pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse; in exchange, the remaining charges were dropped, and the judge agreed to send Polanski to prison for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. But Polanski was released after 42 days and fled the country on the eve of his Feb. 1, 1978, sentencing after the judge reportedly told lawyers he planned to add more prison time.

Whom are you exactly referring to as "Marxists"? Because you seem to be abusing that word in this instance.
