Have you absolute PROOF, that Kobe's lawyers are the ones who told THE GLOBE the info in this article ? If not, then stop the libel.

No one here, especially not YOU, know all of the facts. We each read the news and try to digest the facts; well, many of us do...some made up their minds and then shut them, when the news of this alledged event first broke.

Some women lie about being raped;some don't. The reasons vary, for the liars and sometimes, good liars, with GREAT lawyers, can pull it off. The reverse is true of rapists.

Why, exactly, do YOU believe that Kobe raped this girl ? Where is the proof, the factual evidence, the reasons you not only hold that belief, but also smarmily malign those who aren't adamently in total agreement with you ?

That's why I think history does matter --- Kobe has no history of raping women --- and why would he wait until some skanky girl comes up to his room to decide to pull off his first rape when plenty of groupies routinely make themselves available. She couldn't have seemed any different than the usual groupie by her willingness to come up to his room, so the rape doesn't make sense.

I didn't say they gave the story to Globe, but Team Kobe has been hot to smear the accuser all along, including during the preliminary hearing. No libel here, but if you think there is, e-mail my posts to Kobe's lawyers.

Because that's the explanation that best fits the facts, to my eyes. Maybe I'm wrong, and that's why we have trials. However, some things aren't relevant in rape trials, and that's what's bugging the Kobe partisans.
