Carol McKinley of Fox News broke this story and obtained the E-mail from a Sheriff's department employee placing the order for shirts for the Sheriff's and the DA's office. The Eagle County DA and Sheriff are none to bright to allow this sort of behavior

The prosecution has turned this into a circus. A change of venue is certainly in order.
If the accuser's psychiatric incidents are allowed, this "trial" is over.

The defense must have a weak case if they're attacking something as silly as T-shirts.

Mackey said the shirts have been characterized as racist and "invocative of Klan lynching." Mackey, what a drama queen.

Dumb, dumb and dumber.
However, I DO wonder what's "racist" or "evocative of Klan lynchings" about the T-shirt words as they appear above.

This story was all over Fox Sports Radio last week. When does McKinley say she 'broke' the story?

I never would have thought I would say this. But Kobe Bryant now has my sympathy. Police or Prosecuters who think being accused of such a serious crime is a legitimate subject for public mockery are repugnant to my Libertarian soul.
If this is true all charges should be dropped and the offending officers or prosecuters should be in an unemployment line.

The defense blew it. They shouldn't have said a word until the trial then showed the jury the shirt and said, "Look at this. The prosecutor's office ordered this shirt and it says the defendant is not a rapist. The defense rests."

The great T-shirt controversy of 2003.

Defense attorney Pamela Mackey called the shirts inflammatory and derogatory, and asked for an investigation. The judge, however, told prosecutors to supply details to the defense by Jan. 5 -- including who is involved. How wussie.
It's not nearly as inflamatory or derogator as arresting him was.

Don't think there is a gender gap? Just ask ten guys about this trial and then ask ten gals.
Why is the word of one victim against the word of one accused good enough for a conviction in this AND NO OTHER aspect of the law. How can this happen? How can rape be different from every other legal situation?
How can there even BE a trial in this instance? Where are the injuries? Where is the evidence of injury? Where are the other witnesses?
This is no trial. This is a lynching.

Hurlbert said he immediately disposed of the shirt and Crittenden did so later. Neither wore the shirt, the prosecutor said in a prepared statement.
Hurlbert said "office support staff" had ordered the shirts without his knowledge or authorization -- something he didn't know in October when his office denied any involvement in ordering the shirts -- and that he had taken unspecified action to "address this matter."
I'm sorry, I missed the part where they "allowed" the behavior.
