Roman Polanski has sent a request to a judge to allow the filmmaker to return to the United States without serving any additional jail time. Polanski was indicted in 1977 on five charges, including “rape by use of drugs” and “furnishing a controlled substance to a minor.” Polanski fled the jurisdiction shortly after serving a part of his sentence.  Why did Polanski flee?  What are his legal grounds for seeking a return to the United States?  Will Polanski succeed? Tune in to hear our hosts discuss this controversial, forty year old case.
