Roman Polanski gets bail

By: Sonny Bunch

Would any bookie worth his salt take bets on whether or not he’s going to flee Switzerland? What sort of odds would he have to get? 1:5? 1:10? I mean, seriously: The man spent decades as an international fugitive after skipping bail because he didn’t want to serve his time after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old child. The whole reason you withhold bail is because someone is a flight risk. Is there a single bigger flight risk on the planet? Insanity.
