After all, that is evidence of her sexual history prior to the alleged rape, isn't it?

I never said any evidence should be excluded. Ironically, Bryant may be the one who wants the evidence excluded. If they can prove that she met a man, and they had consensual intercourse, such that she was roughed up, in a very short span, then you've got something. If they prove that she is promiscous, but the sex doesn't leave her roughed up, then her history works against Kobe.

But the law requires that it be excluded. Do you agree with a law that would exclude extrinsic evidence that might show that the "victim" was a willing participant? Shouldn't the evidence come in and the jury make a determination as to whether it makes any difference? Aren't we interested here in getting to the truth? If so, then what purpose is served by excluding the evidence?

BTW you have been officially expelled from NOW.
