The Swiss authorities have put Polanski’s extradition proceedings on hold until the California Court of Appeal acts on the director’s and the victim’s respective pending California Court of appeal petitions to dismiss the 33 year old case for judicial and prosecutorial misconduct and/or to at least transmit the testimony proving the misconduct to the Swiss authorities who are holding the 77 award winning director in a gilded cage.
Stay tuned folks.
