Bed goes up, bed goes down. Yesterday one of Roman Polanski’s French lawyers — evidently not the important one — said that the impatient imprisoned filmmaker might actually agree to face justice in the U.S. courts rather than wait around for months in jail during what could potentially be a lengthy extradition process that could take years if the director chose to fight it.
Today, Polanski’s lawyer Herve Temime says someone spoke out of turn and that the director is in in no way giving up his fight against extradition. “There has been no change in strategy at all,” Temime told Reuters. “There were some comments by Mr. Kiejman that were misunderstood,” he said. “There is no disagreement [in our legal team] at all.”As you were.
