Doesn't matter, IMO. The judge is on tape (he was on 20/20 or some such show) and admitted he came down hard on Polanksi not for judicial reasons but to appear popular to the people. Tons of people have been let off on escaping justice when it's many years down the road.
If I could find a bookie to place the bet with, I'd wager he doesn't see the inside of a jail cell for more than a couple of days.
