Being a good film producer doesn't make you a good human being. I don't know Roman Polanski's life very much beside the Tate episode, his relationship with the 13 years old girl, his movies and that is pretty much everything meaningful that I know.
Does is wife incident screwed him psychologically? Assuredly, and I think that we would all seriously be if we would have been him. Does it excuse what he did? Assuredly not; being depressed and in need of psychological help doesn't excuse you for putting Winny dingy into a 13 years old virgin thingie; If he did feel the urge to to so, he had the perfect excuse to go see a psychologist a.s.a.p before getting any further into his depression.
Thus said, they did interviewed the girl to which it happened (now 45) and she says she's in favor to stop the procedures against him, I think that it sould too be taken in consideration in his case though it doesn't excuse what he did before.
