Prosecutors tough on Polanski
Los Angeles prosecutors on Friday urged a judge to reject film director Roman Polanski's request to be sentenced in his absence for a 1977 sex crime, saying he was a fugitive who should not be able to dictate his case from afar.
In papers filed with Los Angeles Superior court, they also argued Polanski (pictured) - who is under house arrest in Switzerland - should not be treated differently because he is a celebrity.
