Some times talent and the age of a celebrity and successful man can not escape the misdeeds of the past. There was huge outcry in the media after Polanski was arrested. He is imprisoned in Switzerland for an old case of molestation. There is no escape from the past and a talented man like him in this condition has the backing from many big wigs in the entertainment industry. His case stands trial and a possible extradition to US where he would be tried for the crimes of the past. There are many things which set him apart from other criminals. He has suffered already a lot and anyone who knows him will agree that system is trying to hang an old man who is no more than mere skeleton now. He has made several award winning movies and he was bared from traveling to several other countries. His life is full of tragic events. He has been already punished by destiny and fate together. Polanski case needs to be looked at differently and dealt with sympathy.
