Prosecutor: Judge Reneged on Promise in Polanski Abuse Case, Unsealed Court Documents Show
Braun has unsuccessfully tried that before with prosecutors asserting and judges agreeing that Polanski needs to show up in Los Angeles Superior Court to resolve the matter.
Polanski, 88, who was nominated for Oscars for 1974′s “Chinatown” and 1979′s “Tess,” won the best director statuette for “The Pianist” in 2003. But he wasn't able to accept it because he faces arrest in the U.S. Judge Laurence Rittenband, now deceased, had been swayed by publicity in the case and changed his mind several times about the punishment Polanski should face, Braun said.
But Rittenband thought the probation and prison reports were superficial and a “whitewash," said Gunson, who agreed they downplayed or misstated Polanski's crimes.
