The Late Doug Dalton, Long-Time Lawyer For Roman Polanski, Leaves A Legacy Of Respect
called to say that Doug was gone. If you’d dealt with Doug, even a little, you knew that an amazing, old-school uprightness died with him. He had it, and never lost it. Very few, inside or outside the legal profession, shared his stubborn devotion to the correct path. By way of a testimonial, Zenovich actually gave her son the middle name of “Dalton.” That’s kind of amazing, but not really—Doug Dalton affected people that way.
Dalton, as I understood it, didn’t really expect to prevail. And he rarely, if ever, carried on about personal suffering on Polanski’s part—after all, the filmmaker had pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a 13-year-old and fled the country in the face of sentencing. Assisted by his lawyer son Bart, Dalton tackled the case yet again. He joined forces with other lawyers, swore to his recollection of events long passed, marched through a somewhat successful but not definitive appeal, and cracked open new evidence of contemporary judicial maneuvering in the case.
