Roman Polanski Asks Court To Be Released From Custody

Looks like this story is going to go on for a while...

Roman Polanski was arrested in Zurich over the weekend, 30 years after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.

Now the director's lawyers have filed a motion asking for their client to be released from Swiss custody, clearly in an attempt to avoid extradition to the United States. The Swiss Federal Criminal Court says the "decision will be made within the next weeks." Will Roman remain detained?

Meanwhile, victim Samantha Geimer has also asked for Roman to be dismissed, claiming she just "wants the case to be over."

Below is a trailer for Wanted and Desired, an HBO doc suggesting there was foul play behind the scenes:



So much going on here! What do you think?
