One day after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office dropped its opposition to the release of grand jury transcripts of a former prosecutor’s testimony in the criminal case against film director Roman Polanski, a state appeals court on Wednesday, July 13, ordered the documents to be unsealed.
Gascón said his office has “determined it to be in the interest of justice to agree to the unsealing of these transcripts” of former Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson’s closed-door testimony based on “careful consideration of the victim’s wishes, the unique and extraordinary circumstances that led to his conditional exam and my commitment to transparency and accountability for all in the justice system.
Wednesday’s statement from the DA’s Office added that it was unclear how quickly the lower court will unseal the documents. Braun maintained then that Polanski has already served more than enough time, including time he spent at a state prison in Chino in the late 1970s for a pre-sentencing diagnostic examination and also in jail and under house arrest in Switzerland in 2009 as Swiss authorities considered an extradition request.
