As Luc Would Have It

The Confederacy of Dunces grows. But not all of Polanski's friends are joining.

The French director Luc Besson refused to sign the petition calling for Polanski's release.

He said: "I have a lot of affection for him, he is a man that I like very much but nobody should be above the law. I don't know the details of this case, but I think that when you don't show up for trial, you are taking a risk."

If Luc knew the "details" of the case he might feel even more strongly.
