Polish court adjourns Polanski extradition case until mid-September

[May 22, 2015]  WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish court on Friday adjourned until mid-September a hearing on whether to extradite filmmaker Roman Polanski to the United States over a 1977 child sex crime conviction.

The date of the next hearing will be set later, judge Dariusz Mazur said. Earlier on Friday, Mazur said Poland was seeking the United States' legal help in the case, and that U.S. authorities had until Aug. 8 to reply.
