"Defense strategies could keep Polanski out of prison"

First off, let me admit that two posts about this case in the same day is at least one too many, even though we all know that our students will track high-profile cases in the news with a care that might better be focused on their real studies. But I got a kick out of the headline. Is it really news when "defense strategies" might keep someone out of prison? Putting the headline aside, however, the article, from the Los Angeles Times, does usefully canvass some of the likely defense strategies.
