Polanski lawyers seek dismissal of case

Roman Polanski's lawyers filed a last legal volley in a California appeals court, saying that the 33-year-old sex case and its lengthy delays were an assault on the state's judicial system.

The attorneys said in papers that the court should order an investigation of judicial misconduct in Polanski's original case and that the Oscar-winning filmmaker should not have to pay for it - an indication that he is running out of funds.
