LA DA blasts Swiss decision on Polanski

[bemildred]

LOS ANGELES — The district attorney prosecuting Roman Polanski in Los Angeles blasted the Swiss government's refusal on Monday to extradite the Oscar-winning director.

District Attorney Steve Cooley said he is "deeply disappointed" in the decision and will work with U.S. officials to try to extradite Polanski if he is arrested again. Cooley also accused the Swiss of manufacturing an excuse to set Polanski free.

The Swiss government had cited the U.S. government's unwillingness to turn over secret testimony offered by a former prosecutor earlier this year as one of the reasons Polanski could not be extradited.

The testimony was taken in the event the aging prosecutor was not available for a later hearing in the case and remains sealed.

Cooley hates to lose.

1. UBS Bankers need accountable

Once the Swiss understand that there will be repercussions to their sacred banking industry for their gross inaction against America on Polanski will they will get the message.

You'll read about this case on blogs and message forums but it will be invisible from the major media. Instead the major media will be blasting everything of insignificance.
