Better that an innocent guy, facing a false rape charge have to face a life in prison, than that dozens of rapists be enabled to explore the relevance of previous sexual activity of their accuser.

Funny, how different it can sound without the spin

When you spin it?

We understand that the previous sexual behavior of a woman doesn't entitle men so inclined to a free poke without her consent. There is a desire in this forum to erode that understanding.

The rape shield law is operating properly in this case. There is no discussion in court of how many partners she has had, etc. There is a limited discussion about who she may have had sex with immediately before and after the alleged rape.

Team Kobe has disobeyed the judge's orders in the preliminary hearing. Team Kobe is looking to push envelopes and establish precedents that will leave future rapists happy for their efforts.

Team Kobe didn't need to go into slime mode to get relevant sexual questions that might provide reasonable doubt into the trial, they served notice that they will destroy his accuser any way they can.

Team Kobe/FR is giddy at the prospect.

The name thing? Geez, the Judge and the Prosecution did not even seek sanctions or anything. It was a minor deal. Is that all that has you in a twist?
