Running off to Paris for 35 years is hardly a substitute. Am I wrong? Doug

Fuck you. >No injury, no victim, no crime. Have you read the grand jury testimony?

157 [lbo-talk] Polanski -- rank: 773

Grand jury transcripts with the victim's testimony have been there for a few years now: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0928091polans ...
