Polanski cannot dictate terms to end rape case: LA prosecutors
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Fugitive director Roman Polanski could face a tough U.S court battle next week as he seeks to resolve his four-decade rape case without spending more time in jail.
Los Angeles prosecutors said in a court filing ahead of a hearing on Monday that the Oscar-winning movie maker could not dictate the terms of his return to the United States from afar.
Polanski's attorney will ask a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to rule that Polanski fulfilled his time behind bars in 1977, when he served 42 days ahead of sentencing for the rape.
Attorney Harland Braun has said Polanski wants to travel freely, without risk of extradition, and to return to the United States
