Polanski Lawyers Clash Over Legal Strategy

Lawyers for Roman Polanski are clashing over his legal strategy, with one saying the director won't surrender to U.S. authorities after 31 years on the run and another suggesting that Polanski was ready to consider the move.

Attorney Herve Temime says there has been "no change in strategy," telling the AP that Polanski will "continue to fight extradition" to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

Earlier Wednesday, fellow Polanski attorney Georges Kiejman told Europe 1 radio that Polanski could voluntarily return to face justice in Los Angeles.

Polanski has been pressing for his release since being arrested last month in Zurich. He suffered a major setback Tuesday when a Swiss criminal court , saying his flight risk was too high.

On Tuesday, it was revealed just how much of a part the Swiss played in Polanski's arrest when about the director's plans to travel to the country last month.
