Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. There wasn't DNA evidence because they couldn't do DNA evidence yet.
I am in complete agreement re: flight. The more I look at it, the more my Don Quixote's concern seems to hinge on the idea of the justice system pulling a fast one which, given the caliber of lawyers Polanski can afford, seems awfully unlikely.
Even if the judge planned on reneging on a plea agreement with the DA's office, it is within his right to do so. A judge may refuse to honor a plea agreement they feel does not satisfy the requirements of the case or contravenes the law. A judge is also not legally bound to have to accept a deal made by the prosecution.
