Forget It Roman, It's Chinatown

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Attorneys for Oscar-winning film director Roman Polanski are asking a California court to dismiss a 30-year-old sex offense case against him, claiming prosecutorial and judicial misconduct.

Polanski's defense team offers what it calls "extraordinary new evidence" of "repeated, unlawful, and unethical misconduct" by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the judge in Polanski's case based on details that surfaced this year in an HBO documentary.

Why even try Roman? Your reputation in the United States will stay the same, and being stuck in France can't be that bad. However, if you're trying this because you want to make another film in the States....that's a different story.
