Well, of course it would be easier. It would be easier still to not prosecute anyone for any crime.

I was hoping for some better arguments as to why some think this guy should skate. The excuses I'm reading on other boards go something like this...

1. Locking him up would deprive us of his "wonderful films"
2. His pregnant wife was murdered by the Manson cult, therefore he has "suffered enough"
3. The crime occurred more than 30 years ago
4. Switzerland is "losing its sovereignty" (insert "LOL WUT" pic here)
5. The victim does not want him to do time
6. America is evil and incarcerates way too many people as it is
7. It will cost money
8. It wasn't "rape-rape"

All quite lame in my humble opinion.
