Two more rumors bite the dust (Ride home and torn clothing just not true, sources say)
The Vail Daily ^ | 8/4/03 | The Vail Daily

Two more reports regarding the Kobe Bryant case circulating among part of the national media were debunked Monday.

Media reports that the 19-year-old woman who Bryant allegedly assaulted received a ride home is not the case, sources said Monday. Reports that her clothing was torn are also untrue, sources also.

Sources told the Daily that the alleged victim managed to get herself home by 11:50 p.m., June 30, after ending the shift at the Lodge at Cordillera at around 11:10 p.m.

They also said that while her clothing was disheveled and showed signs that something had occurred, it wasn't torn or ripped, as some reports indicated.

"Some of the reports made it sound like something out of a bad movie," said one source. "It wasn't like that."

The reports are part of a larger set of rumors and gossip that have been circulating across the country about the case. Among them:

- That the alleged victim was in the room two hours. It was only about 20 minutes.

- When she came down, she was hysterical. She was not. Sources said she was in a stupor and a state of shock.

- A few days before the incident, the alleged victim had accused another hotel worker of sexual harassment, getting him fired. Not true, said the man who was terminated. It was not the alleged victim.

Cameras in court

Eagle County Judge Fred Gannett ruled that not only is Bryant required to appear at 4 p.m. Wednesday, he also ruled Monday that there will be cameras in the courtroom.

Gannett denied a motion by Bryant's attorneys asking Gannett to reconsider an earlier order allowing one video camera and one still camera in the courtroom while Bryant is advised of the charges against him, and also advised of his rights.

A bad movie indeed.

That fat cow Rita Cosby can't getting anything right. Neither can the rest of the "hang him high" bunch. Amazing how this article appeared the same day as the bogus article from the NY Times (funny reading FReepers quote the times as Gosphel) but no one caught it..

I wonder what else about this guys story is not true.

BTW: Here are some links to the bellboys website. Looks like he fancies himself as the next Michael Jordan. Hmmm...

"That fat cow Rita Cosby can't getting anything right."

I thought it was just me...noticing that she has become a bit bovine.

Saw her for the first time in a few months yesterday and noticed that she was "filling the screen" a lot more than she had in the past.

She has always been that way.

But she's pretty, just the same.

A bellboy has a website?

I don't have a website. Do you have one?

That fat cow Rita Cosby

Lighten up. Her voice drives me nuts but I would not call her a fat cow. So some of "my sources" have been wrong. I will admit she has more sources than __________ you fill in the blank.

Wow. Mussed-up clothes instead of ripped. Shock and stupor instead of hysteria. She drives herself home instead of catching a ride.

That does it for me...Kobe's innocent.

Thanks for the link to his website. It appears that Eagle County has at least one dork to call its own.

Sources told the Daily...

I suppose Mr. Sources is going to be very busy testifying at Kobe's trial - he's been quoted saying a lot of contradictory things lately.

She should be charged with desecrating a dead body.

Too bad Rita didn't have "her sources" with her when she butchered the Supreme Court Bush v Gore decision the nite it was released. That proved she's clueless.

"sources?"-why should I believe these more than what Rita reported? She supposedly got it from a witness (bellboy). Also, dishelved, stupor?-still doesn't look good for Kobe. I don't see how this bolsters Kobe's case at all. I guess it's going to have to be the race card-doesn't look like the Kobe team has much else.

She is shrill, annoying, bovine, and she has more "sources" then Microsoft. Things she reports as fact are constantly being debunked. She reports every tantalizing untruth with a gleam in her eye.

The stuff she reported on the Peterson case turned out to be true. I can't think of any story that was debunked. As for election 2000, all reporters got it wrong-including Brit Hume (my idol).

She attempted to commit suicide twice--attempt is the operative word here. Your version is not possible.
