Polanski extradition moves closer

A US court has rejected a bid by film executive Roman Polanski to be condemned in absentia for a kid sex case.

The move by a California Second District Court of Appeal clears a approach for Polanski, right away 76, to be extradited from Switzerland to a US.

Polanski has been underneath house detain in Switzerland since September facing a US detain warrant over his self-assurance for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.

He left a US in 1978 before he could be condemned and has never returned.

Polanski's attorneys had also sought a appointment of a special counsel to examine alleged judicial bungle in a case.

Switzerland has pronounced it will not confirm whether to extradite a executive until any appeal over his US hearing is resolved.

Polanski's ultimate film, The Ghost Writer, won a Silver Bear endowment for most appropriate executive at a Berlin Film Festival in February.
