IronFront, I feel that you are testing us ~ or trying to.

You have already been told that, if you had not been a long-term member, you would have been banned, some time ago, for deliberately stirring up the forum for no good reason, other than your own entertainment. This is what people term 'a troll'.

For now, you will be banned for one week, to give you time to decide how you will behave when you return. We shall then take it from there.



Thank you PDM.
That language was very rude.

like when families have forgiven people of the crime they committed and they are still executed for it.

guilty is guilty and thats that


I am in agreement so then it would follow that he should be arrested as innocent until proven guilty.

Thanks PDM, I am glad to see that soon we won't have to put up with the offensive and "troll"ish comments of "yowo/Ironfront" any more.

I am not sure - was he cinvicted and fled while awaiting sentencing or while awaiting trial? And is there a statute of limitations on the crime? I know that there is no statute of limitations on murder but there is on other crimes. I am just asking

He deserves punishment for the crime and for being a coward and refusing to be accountable for it. The child was 13 years old. That is statutory rape, and assault (administering drugs), among other things.

If someone did that to one of my boys, I don't care how long passed between the crime and the punishment, or if my son accepted what amounts to a bribe to drop the charges, I would want them punished.

Ditto... Maybe there's no statute of limitations on a crime if they go to make the arrest and the person flees, so the case is still open?

Some quotes from that BBC item ~ do they clarify anything?

Quote:
Polanski was initially indicted on six counts and faced up to life in prison.

US prosecutors want Mr Polanski to face sentencing

He pleaded guilty at the time but then fled abroad.

'.. he claimed misconduct by the judge, now deceased, who had arranged a plea bargain and then reneged on it.'

the statute of limitations is suspended in roman polanski's case because he pleaded guilty and then fled. once you flee, it already suspends your right to the statue of limitations, but since he pleaded guilty and THEN fled, his statue of limitations is suspended

Just saying, I don't blame him for fleeing.

Well, I suppose I don't blame him for wanting to escape his punishment, but I do blame him for bringing that punishment upon himself, by abusing a child.
