LOS ANGELES – Roman Polanski's attorneys filed an appeal Thursday asking that a special counsel be appointed to investigate alleged judicial and prosecutorial misconduct in the fugitive director's 32-year-old sex case.
They cited new evidence provided by the original prosecutor in the case who testified in a recent series of secret sessions that he tried to disqualify the original judge in 1977 on grounds of misconduct but was ordered by his superiors not to do so.

The lawyers also accused the current prosecutors of giving false information to Swiss authorities to support Polanski's extradition to the United States when they knew his potential sentence did not fall within Swiss requirements to order his return.Exporter of Hookloader Oil Tank
