: Breaking Legal NewsPolanski sex case back in court
By (Breaking Legal News)
Roman Polanski will be returning to the courtroom for an overdue hearing for his criminal case later this week. The case could be resolved quickly, the appeals court has suggested, if Roman?s attorneys agree to sentencing in absentia ? without Roman physically in court ? or Roman drops his opposition to being extradited to the United States. Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said Judge Peter Espinoza will hold a hearing for Roman?s case on Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.
Roman is currently under house arrest at his Swiss chalet after he was arrested in late September on a fugitive warrant.
He was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl during a 1977 modeling shoot and was indicted on six felony counts and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse. Roman fled to France the day before his sentencing in 1978 after spending 42 days in a California prison for psychiatric evaluation.
