Roman Polanski gets bail -- if it sticks, will he skip again? [POLL]
Bail in the amount of $4.5 million has been approved for director Roman Polanski, who's been held in Zurich, Switzerland, facing extradition to Los Angeles to be sentenced for unlawful intercourse with a 13-year-old girl more than three decades ago.
But he's not out just yet -- the Swiss government has 10 days to appeal the decision.
Swiss Justice Ministry spokesman Folco Galli told the UK Daily Mail that Polanski is considered a "high flight risk."
