January 14, 2004 -- DENVER, Colo. - Kobe Bryant's accuser allegedly suffers from bipolar disorder - and may have been in such a "manic state" at the time of the reputed attack that it boosted her sex drive and willingness to bed someone, the defense is charging. The basketball star's legal team, in court papers released yesterday, quotes John Ray Strickland, one of the accuser's ex-love as saying she is bipolar.

LOL I was picturing something entirely different.

This is sickening, it will follow your son's friend for the rest of his life.

[Howlin]

Exactly. I feel sorry for the nurse AND the witness; the detective turned out to be a somewhat poor witness, and unfortunately for them, he's pretty much locked them into what they can say; if he misquoted them, it's not going to look good for them.

And I hope by the time the trial starts, the prosecutor will have found time to test those "samples."

[Howlin]

Q Was there a magistrate (male) and district attorney (female) in your story ?

A Why, yes, there was, Your Honor.

[Howlin]

Oh, here is one like I use:

It's even worse! My kids call it a horse feeder!

The feminatzi's always scream "no means no," she said "no" and he stopped. Thats not good enough in your eyes. I thought rape was a crime of violence and force, not having to be told by your mother you have been raped. I know a woman who was really raped, who called 911 right after, and had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

More than a few women who are beaten have, for whatever reason, stayed in the marriage. There is the notorious Hedda and Joel Steinberg case. He beat her repeatedly and they killed their daughter and got off far too easy.

Amazing how people who have never met a celebrity, have no idea what he is like, become their frantic supporters. I used to like Kobe. It was disappointing to hear about the rape charge and evidence so far presented leans toward his guilt. In any case, his lawyer sure is acting as if he were guilty.

[JudyB1938]

It looks uncomfortable, but it should prohibit any semblance of contaminating the jury.

[Howlin]

I'm often glad I have it to hide my astonishment at some of the lies that are spoken from the stand.

You can hardly breathe with it on, so it would be pretty hard to signal somebody. :-)

The judge found evidence of forcible intercourse and physical injuries. I am not taking the "feminazi" position, I am simply pointing out what has been shown. If he's innocent and did nothing more than commit adultery, that's fine with me. I would rather nothing happened and that she made it all up, there's enough violence and cruelty in the world as it is. If he did it and is found guilty, it was a vicious crime and he should pay.

[KellyAdmirer]

The court found probable cause when viewed favorably to the prosecution, however you want to slice it. He "found" nothing else, sure, though to reach that finding he had to weigh evidence that included indications of forcible intercourse. We shall see at trial what he means by "Almost" in the phrase "Almost all of the evidence...permits multiple inferences." We also will see the accuser testify for the first time and see lots of other evidence that has not been produced yet, including all this medical history stuff.

[JudyB1938]

Due to his alleged "size", I am not surprised there's physical injuries down there. Those injuries could have occurred whether there was consent or not. What gives me the most pause is the bruise on her cheek.

I'm just glad I don't have to be on that jury, because I can picture both scenarios. She could have been a giddy young girl who sent the wrong signals and ended up getting raped, or she could have changed her mind when it started to hurt.

[wardaddy]

restraining orders are abused similarly.

The biggest problem the prosecution is going to have is the length time between the incident and the report to the police. The reports are clear that the girl was not in any state of shock when she reported back to the front desk. She supposedly spoked to her mother in the morning before reporting the rape.
Due to the nature of the town and her parents influence the prosecution might of acted without regards to the facts. Kobe will probably play the race card and get the trial transfer to Denver.

I have disseminated from the facts of the pre-trial, and as I have said, only from the facts as we know them.

But the problem is that all the facts weren't laid out at the pretrial, just the facts to push the case to trial.

This means that the prosecutor better have a lot more then he has right now. I have not judged him innocent, the facts as we know them now would just make it really hard to convict him.

A lot more than blood and bruises? It wouldn't take much more than blood and bruises and behaviour of the two involved before and after the event for me.

He had her by the throat.

Thats not good enough in your eyes. I thought rape was a crime of violence and force, not having to be told by your mother you have been raped.

She told the bellboy she was raped before she saw her mother. Why don't you learn the facts before you make your claims.

So it's not rape if the woman doesn't need an ambulance?
