Truth is, if either one of them could have a do-over both would choose to stay home that night.

If you know someone who is not on some things a hypocrite please provide contact information. I and any number of museums would be interested.
Occam’s Razor neither specifies nor excludes jury verdicts as the simplest explanation of anything. I’m pretty sure someone could take selective facts regarding you, me, or Trayvon and claim Occams razor shows many things, including large numbers of things they wish to be true. Occam’s razor is useful, but it is too often used merely for rhetorical purposes.
As to Polanski’s victim I most certainly recall her statements that she did not want Polanski extradited, nor prosecuted as a fugitive from justice, nor to relive the experience. I do not recall her specifying Fox News coverage in particular to stop reporting,.I do recall her blaming the press in general and the judge in California very specifically. Fortunately it was not Fox or any other part of the press’ call, It was up to the US DOJ, and the attorney general and local prosecutor in the state of California. In any event her desire to avoid publicity did not prevent her from giving an interview to Larry King in 2003 discussing the rape. This was well in advance of the first extradition attempt. A transcript is available online. In addition, her aversion to attention did not impede her memoir (written in 2012, and published in 2013) of her rape and its aftermath . I’m OK with that but I suppose you will, for sake of consistency have to condemn her hypocrisy.
For that matter, the US is still trying to extradite Polanski, with the next court action scheduled in Poland in August of this year. You can look it up. So far as I know Fox is not beating the drums over that but perhaps I am wrong, or they have forsworn such additional hypocrisy. Who knows? Who is it, do you think, that is driving the current effort by the US DOJ to extradite Polanski if not Fox and assorted right wing pundits?
