The Los Angeles DAs office has filed papers opposing Roman Polanski's Request to be sentenced in Absentia. Polanski was convicted of child rape back in the 70's but never had to face the music before because he fled the country on the eve of his sentencing hearing. The Associated Press is reporting that the DA said on Friday that Polanski is a convicted child rapist who should not get to dictate how the case goes.
