Hear! Hear! She could have had sex with every single male in the freakin' hotel, the college team down the street, a few guys at a convention a couple hotels over, gone in to Kobe's room and STILL have been raped. Her sex life should really play no part in this trial at all, nor in the pre-trial publicity. She's no angel, but people who aren't on society's "good" list can be crime victims as well. The hoop jumping pretzel logic by the celebrity worshipers in here is somewhat stomach-turning.
Personally, I believe adultery should be punishable by castration, but hey, that's just me. Of course, Kobe could have shot her on national TV and some of the jock-sniffers in here would have twisted themselves into pretzels to defend him.
He may be guilty, he may be not guilty. The court will decide that. That is, after all, why we have trials. With luck, the judge will be a bit better at his or her job than Lance Ito. But guilty or not guilty, Kobe is by no means innocent. This "poor, poor Kobe, having his life ruined by some vicious slut" was not forced to whip it out and use it on her, in violation of his vows. And if the girl's sexual history is fair game, shouldn't his apparent willingness to lie to his wife, to God, and to anyone at his wedding be taken into consideration too? It might be good to remember that as this thread continues.
Don't be ridiculous. If she had sex with multiple partners before OR after being with Bryant, there is no way on earth a prosecutor could prove Bryant was the one who caused those "jaw dropping" injuries.
This DA is NEVER, EVER going to be able to prove FORCE, period.
Your scary attitude is exactly what I was describing in my earlier post. Too many of you think it is fine to hang Kobe for adultery if you cant get him on rape. This is why people are afraid of people like Judge Moore, though I supported him. People realize that there are some like you who think in this nation you can just prosecute someone for breaking Gods laws, if man's laws dont do the job for you.
If you want to petition the courts to charge Bryant with adultery, be my guest, but dont call him 'guilty' in the context of this court case, because he sinned. In cases of sin, courts are not the judge and if I may say so, neither are you.
Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Bill Clinton hall of shame bump.
True. However, realize that it then becomes astronomically harder to prove, on the basis of evidence, that Bryant was the one who caused the injuries.
Look, I'm as much against rape as anyone. But in a court of law, you've got to prove it.
I am no fan of Bryant. I deplore the bad behavior of so many professional athletes these days. I have a low opinion of Bryant, the admitted adulterer. But that still doesn't prove that it was rape.
