It's a bit more nuanced than that. Polanski was offered a plea deal that was VERY favourable to him. All he had to do was plead guilty and get a slap on the wrist; he did so under counsel advice but then the judge had a few drinks at his country club and started shouting off about how they had tricked Polanski and that he was going to throw the book at him.
As much as I dislike Polanski for what he did (and he did do it) I'm more angry that the justice system was corrupted in this way. It was like they were trying to frame a guilty man.
Today I learned of a miscarriage of justice that doesn't bother me. Maybe the first time ever.
