Polanski Seeks Justice

One of the great directors of the 70s was Roman Polanski. He filmed suspenseful, captivating movies like Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and the recent Academy Award winner for best director The Pianist. Polanski has been living in France since 1978 due to fleeing child-sex charges in the United States. He pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor, a 13-year-old girl, but fled Los Angeles soon after thinking the judge would not uphold the deal he made with the prosecution. He cannot be extradited under French law.
Why do I tell you all of this? Let me explain. Polanski is asking for restitution in a libel case with Vanity Fair. Polanski is seeking to sue Vanity Fair publisher Conde Nast over an article stating Polanski made advances on a woman in a New York restaurant while on his way to his wife's funeral. His pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, died in 1969. She was murdered by Charles Manson's followers in Los Angeles.
The British House of Lords has ruled in a 3-2 decision the director should not be denied access to justice because of his unwillingness to come to Britain for fear of being arrested and extradited to America. He has been allowed to video link himself to the court and give evidence and his testimony.
"Despite his fugitive status, a fugitive from justice is entitled to invoke the assistance of the court and its procedures in protection of his civil rights," said Lord Nicholls, who voted with the majority.
I have a few problems with this entire thing, so let me hit each point one by one. First of all, Polanski is a sick bastard. He's a great director, but he should be in jail. He had sex with a 13-year-old. Does he have no moral fiber in his body?
Secondly, any normal, morally-straight person would consider this a punishable act. Since France doesn't consider sex with a minor a crime, this makes me say, "Nazis, you can have them back." It disgusts me to think France will allow such scum in its borders.
Thirdly, would any court allow Joe Blow, a no-name sex offender, the courtesy of sending his testimony in a libel suit via satellite? No they wouldn't. This just upholds my theory that celebrities don't go to jail.
Finally, I feel fugitives of justice shouldn't be allowed their civil rights. At least not certain rights. Polanski has not accepted the consequences for his actions, so why should another person be punished by him if he will not be allowed to be punished? I'm not saying two wrongs make a right, but what I am saying is Polanski doesn't deserve justice. Nast should be held responsible for his actions, but Polanski better not get anything from it. Not a dime. Not even an apology. Not until he has come to grips with what he has done.
