Lawrence Silver, an attorney for Roman Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, leaves after a hearing in Los Angeles, Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009. Prosecutors and attorneys for Roman Polanski faced intense questioning Thursday by three appeals court justices during a hearing that could decide the fate of the fugitive film director's long-delayed sex case. Silver argued the case should be dismissed. He said that unlike Polanski, Geimer is not a fugitive and had the right to ask for the dismissal.
