Roman Polanski Will Be in Jail for One More Weekend

Roman Polanski, the 76 year old director who banged a 13 year old back in the 70s and idiotically admitted to it, will be in jail for at least another weekend according to AFP:

Roman Polanski has not come up with 4.5 million dollars bail to allow him to be moved to house arrest in his Swiss chalet, and will stay in jail till after the weekend, Swiss authorities said Friday.

The film-maker, who has been hunted by the United States ever since he fled the country in 1978 after admitting unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl, was granted bail with an electronic tag on Wednesday as he awaits a ruling on a US extradition request.

I wonder if Roman thinks what he did was worth all of this. I mean, he could've found someone 6 years older at the time and now he'd be a happy old man living in Beverly Hills with a 32 year old wife and a poodle with a stupid ass haircut. That probably sounds much better, I bet he's depressed. I'll get his Swiss jail address so I can send him a card.
