Roman Polanksi Granted Bail but Still in Jail

Sorry, Kirstie Alley. It seems the Free Roman Polanski Brigade has won out. Or has it?
The Swiss Criminal Court today accepted the Oscar-winning filmmaker's $4.5 million cash bail deal that would allow him to leave a Zurich jail for house arrest and electronic monitoring at his Swiss chalet.
Naturally, Swiss authorities aren't so keen on the idea of letting their prize catch go, given his history of running from the law. Two previous requests by his attorneys were rejected outright.
This time, however, the price was right. While the justice minister says he won't appeal the bail decision, the 72-year-old The Pianist director will likely remain in lockup for a couple more days before being released.
Once out, he will be under close watch as officials continue weighing whether to extradite him back to California to face charges of having unlawful sex with a minor.
