Summary

Roman Polanski remains exiled in France 40 years after he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl, although the victim now wants the judge to end the case and let the director return to the USA without the threat of jail. The case is now complicated by yet another woman -- the 3rd in recent years -- accusing Polanski of raping her decades ago. Nancy Grace convenes an expert team to debate what should happen in the controversial case, including reporter Alexis Tereszcuk, lawyer Marie Napoli and forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan. Polanski's Los Angeles lawyer also talks about this client's reaction to the latest accusation.
