Polanski Breaks His Silence
Filmmaker Roman Polanski, breaking a months-long silence, said Sunday that the United States was demanding his extradition from Switzerland on a 33-year-old sex case largely to serve him “on a platter to the media.” Polanski, under house arrest in his Alpine Swiss chalet, laid out his case to an online magazine run by a staunch supporter, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, saying: “I have had my share of dramas and joys, as we all have, and I am not going to try to ask you to pity my lot in life,” he wrote. “I ask only to be treated fairly like anyone else.”
