Child rapist Roman Polanski is being released on $4.5 million bail from from a Swiss detention facility pending a decision on whether to extradict him back to the U.S. to be sentenced.

He will be under electronic monitoring at his chalet in Gstaad.

I have no problem with this as long as Swiss officials don't go soft and decide his recent incarceration is enough in the way of justice. Justice requires he be returned to the U.S. from which he fled to avoid sentencing for his crimes back in the late 1970s.

It is not the Swiss government's job to punish Polanski. It IS it's job to return him to the scene of his crimes so that he might get his just desserts.
