Polanski has argued that there was judicial misconduct in his case. In 2010, a Los Angeles court took sealed testimony from Gunson about his recollections of promises made to the director by the judge in 1977. The judge said that as long as Polanski received a favorable report from the prison, he would serve no additional time, Gunson said.
The judge privately told Gunson and Polanski's lawyer that he had to be tougher because of criticism in the news media.He said he would send Polanski to prison for a longer term but would then get him released within 120 days, which was possible under sentencing rules at the time.Gunson acknowledged during his testimony that the judge had discretion to sentence Polanski up to 50 years because there had been no agreed-upon sentence.
