Bigwig Hollywood Moguls Are Fighting For Rapist Roman Polanski Not To Be Extradited

Fox News reports on the disturbing story of Hollywood liberals lining up to defend rapist Roman Polanski and trying to stop Polanski from being extradited to the United States. Fox News reports that "Hollywood moguls are pressuring California lawmakers to do what they can to stop the extradition of Roman Polanski, aiming to prevent the Oscar-winning director from being forcibly returned to the U.S. to do time for raping a 13-year-old girl in the 1970s. The only problem — the government isn't interested. Actors and actresses from Harrison Ford to Debra Winger have reportedly joined the growing throng of liberal celebrities calling for Polanski to be released following his arrest in Switzerland last week. Studio kingpin Harvey Weinstein says he is leading the charge and 'e-mailing everybody I know' to push for the swift release of his friend, whom he calls a 'humanist' who has been the victim of a gross 'miscarriage of justice' for more than three decades... Scores of American film icons from Woody Allen to Martin Scorsese have signed a petition demanding 'the immediate release of Roman Polanski,' saying they were 'dismayed' by his arrest. But the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, which is seeking to have Polanski extradited to California, isn't interested in petitions from the stars — it has a job to do, DA spokewoman Jane Robison told FOXNews.com."
