Quote:Well, that'd depend on whether they were honoring him for his filmmaking career or for his work with kids. I assume that, for whatever reason or reasoning, they're disregarding his purported appetites *and* accepting his innocence of the more sensational charges... He has had his due process. Whatever else he may be, he is *not* innocent To hell with the process. "Guilty" is a legal concept, but not necessarily a reality when it comes to ACCURATE judgment. Check around, George. A lot of people have been sent to jail on either trumped-up charges, or are sometimes flatly innocent. It happens. No doubt, some overzealous prosecutor saw a chance to put away a celebrity for a high-profile trial, and took what was probably a private party, with no one complaining, and decided to make a case. Then he'd use the publicity to gain political ascendancy. Like those DAs a few years back who were finding devil worshippers at all the daycare centers and were locking them up as pedophiles. I understand. You invoke due process when it suits you, and you ignore it when it suits you. I do the same. In Polanski's case, since I have no first-hand knowledge of the facts, and no rooting interest in his exoneration, I'll stick with the judgment of the jury that found him guilty. This is not Richard Kimble we're talking about here .. |
