Not really.Have you seen the documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired? Polanski had served 42 days in a mental hospital undergoing"psychiatric evaluation". A plea agreement had been arrived at between the prosecutor and defense where Polanski had admitted to "unlawful sexual intercourse" and would be sentenced to time served plus probation-standard in such a case.
But the judge in the case, not wishing to look bad in the media, rejected the agreement and vowed "that he was going to lock up Polanski for the rest of his life." It was at this time that Polanski fled, approximately a year into legal proceedings,an action which even the prosecutor now says he doesn't find surprising under those circumstances.
Polanski's original crime was despicable, and fleeing sentencing is wrong. but his case was clearly not handled impartially, and he's been given not guarantee of it being handled fairly if he returns. I don't see him as a martyr, but his decision to stay away from the US is not only understandable but reasonable, one that many of us would follow even if we weren't famous film directors.
