Were you going around saying that of the 9/11 terrorists or the D.C. sniper?

Well, there wasn't anything left of the 9/11 terrorists, and they caught the D.C. sniper with the gun in his trunk, so I think that the initital perception of the case was much more realistically that of being beyond reasonable doubt than what we've seen so far with the Kobe Bryant case.

If Marcia Clark was discredited in the OJ case, when every intelligent American knew that OJ was guilty as sin, one can only wonder what will happen to the DA who prosecutes this case.

Doing something to become famous only pays off if it's successful. This case has no chance of success, and I've not seen one respected legal commentator disagree with that assessment.

The cardinal rule of prosecutions is that you don't go to trial with a case unless you're confident of winning. My assessment is that this case had less than a 10% chance before this revelation. Assuming it's not discredited, it's now somewhere in the decimal points.

You better contact the federal government, because they are prosecuting people for having involvement.

Wait, you were the one who said ``innocent until proven guilty,'' now you are talking about ``initial perception.'' Where do you ``initial perception'' in the constitution? Many people's initial perception is that Kobe Byant is guilty because they found his DNA, plus she was injured. There isn't even that much proof in most rape cases.
