In the interest of finally wrapping up coverage of the Roman Polanski Swede-Propositioning Libel Trial, a verdict has finally been rendered. And: Huzzah! Justice is served! Take that, thin-skinned, fugitive director!

Oh, wait a minute, Polanski won? We'd sooner fuck a duck than try to understand British libel laws [Ed.note—Disclaimer: Defamer is published in America and not intended for the eyes of any British citizen with the resources to retain a libel attorney.], but the upshot of this is that we find ourselves in the highly confusing position of agreeing with Graydon Carter.

After the verdict, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter said he found it "outrageous that this story is considered defamatory, given the fact that Mr. Polanski cannot be here because he slept with a 13-year-old girl a quarter of a century ago." [...]

We'd love to marinate in the irony of the decision, but we're a little too busy being profoundly disturbed by the description of "cuddliness" we read in the girl's testimony from Polanski's statutory rape trial. But at least now the world knows that he didn't hit on that Swedish chick.
