now I will give you my personal feelings.

I'm tired of the double standard for artists/athletes vs. everybody else. If this had been some regular schmo, he'd have ended up as some kind of social outcast, with a sign in his yard telling everybody what a creep he was.

And while Mr. Polanski may no longer be a threat, I believe the state still has an interest in prosecuting him. Do they want to set the precedent that if you can evade capture for over x amount of time, that everything is OK?
