Swiss don't want secret testimony in Polanski case

GENEVA (AP) - Swiss justice officials pronounced Friday they have been not meddlesome in an attempt by Roman Polanski's U.S. lawyers to unseal tip sworn statement by his original prosecutor in Los Angeles as well as contention which in a director's fight opposite extradition to a United States.

Switzerland works upon a assumption which a extradition ask from a U.S. is based upon correct statements as well as a tip sworn statement wouldn't change that, Justice Ministry orator Folco Galli said.

Polanski's lawyers, in a suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, pronounced transcripts of sworn statement by retired Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson would prove which a extradition ask is based upon false as well as incomplete statements by a Los Angeles district attorney's office.

The lawyers claimed they need a sworn statement to contention it to Swiss authorities who have been perplexing to confirm either to extradite Polanski to Los Angeles for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

Switzerland only has to inspect either a facts of a box have been punishable underneath Swiss law as well as if there's any reason to reject an extradition, Galli said. One possible reason not to extradite would be if Polanski, 76, faces a jail sentence of reduction than six months.

It was not rught away well known how a Swiss position might stroke a lawyers' ask to Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza. Their suit requested a May 10 hearing.

Swiss authorities arrested Polanski seven months ago as he arrived in Zur! ich to r eceive a lifetime feat award during a movie festival.

A California court ruling last week pronounced a executive could not be condemned in absentia, seen as a major setback in Polanski's battle to avoid being returned to a United States after decades as a fugitive.

Swiss legal experts believe which Polanski will eventually be extradited to Los Angeles, even if months of further legal wrangling await. The executive can begin a brand new round of appeals in Swiss courts if a supervision decides to extradite him.

Galli pronounced Swiss authorities have been study a California court ruling, dampening expectations for a quick extradition decision.

Polanski was primarily accused of raping a girl after plying her with champagne as well as a Quaalude tablet during a 1977 displaying shoot. He was charged upon six felony counts, including rape by make use of of drugs, child seduction as well as sodomy, though he pleaded guilty to a lesser assign of wrong sexual intercourse.

In exchange, a judge agreed to dump a superfluous charges as well as sent him to jail for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. According to lawyers, a judge pronounced which would be Polanski's entire sentence, though he afterwards altered his thoughts as well as pronounced he was going to impose an vague longer term in prison.

Polanski afterwards fled a U.S. upon Feb. 1, 1978, a day he was to be formally sentenced. He has lived given afterwards in France, which does not extradite the citizens.
