A French lawyer for Roman Polanski says he has submitted a new bail offer to a Swiss court to try to free the filmmaker from jail.
Lawyer Herve Temime says the offer Monday includes "adequate guarantees" that Polanski will not flee justice if released. The 76- year-old director is awaiting a decision on extradition to the United States.
Switzerland's Justice Ministry rejected a bail offer Friday, considering Polanski a high flight risk. They noted it was not a cash offer.
Temime said Sunday the new offer would include a "very, very significant" cash amount, but on Monday, he gave no further details.
Polanski, arrested Sept. 26, is wanted in the U.S. for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Polanski fled the U.S. before sentencing.

That piece of rapist s--- is going to RUN if he gets the chance. Keep him in jail.
According to CourTV the US Supreme Court is currently hearing a case that involves prosecutors' immunity when they can be shown to have framed a suspect/defendant. Current law gives prosecutors absolute immunity from being sued even tho they can be shown to have set up a defendant ; the laws are only a little hazy as to complete immunity before trial investigation begins. Po should click his heels together and make a wish.
Preliminary negotations that could result in the release of Mr. Polanski have been concluded. Nearby residents of the facility in which the famed director is incarcerated have reported hearing non-stop refrains of RI-CO-LA. A Tyrolean cap should be a effective feel-good offering state-side.
Representatives of the Polish government have reportedly backed off initial interest in intercession on behalf of the release of the seventy-six year old director because "Being an ambassador for Krakaus and Atalanta ham just doesn't cut it in this economy. " I'd like to see the doc get the Oscar
