No appeal against court decision on Polański

A Polish appellate prosecutor's office informed it has found no justification to appeal against an earlier Polish court decision not to extradite film director Roman Polański to the United States over a  chid sex conviction from 1977. "Analysis of evidence collected in the case ... allows one to say that the stance of the court on denying the extradition of Roman Polanski to U.S. authorities is correct," the appellate prosecutor's office in Kraków said in a statement. On October 30 a court in Kraków ruled that Polański will not be extradited from Poland, but the decision was not legally valid and the prosecutor's office could appeal. The dealine to do so expired on November 26. The Polish and, since 1976, naturalized French film director pleaded guilty in 1977 to having sex with a minor. He fled the US the following year in order to avoid long-term imprisonment. In 2010, Polański was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. warrant, however, he was later released as Swiss authorities refused to extradite him. Under Polish law, if the court agreed to extradite Polanski, the final decision would be made by the justice minister.
