Roman Polanski LOS ANGELES Roman Polanski is finding out that prosecutors still want to go after him.

And, they say his claims of misconduct by a judge cannot be heard in court unless he returns to the United States. But, Polanski would risk getting arrested if he comes back to the U.S. He ran away to Europe in 1977 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor. His lawyers have suggested he's not needed in court. Broadway - Brighter Than 2007 NEW YORK Life was good on Broadway last year. More people went to Broadway shows last year than the year before.
