US judge dismisses Polanski ‘lie’ claims
LOS ANGELES (AFP) – A Los Angeles judge on Monday dismissed a request by Roman Polanski’s lawyers to unseal records they claimed would prove that attempts to extradite the director were based on incomplete information.
Polanski attorney Chad Hummel had argued that it was necessary to release transcripts of closed-door testimony given earlier this year by Roger Gunson, a retired prosecutor who handled the filmmaker’s 1970s child sex case.
