I believe it when its presented by the defense. The DA must believe there is something other than her word if its not worth much to colloborate it happened. I can't wait to see what it is. Otherwise without it, the case would have been dropped by now.

Ah, but there are other factors to consider in that decision. First, the DA was under pressure to bring charges once the sheriff's department jumped the gun and arrested Kobe. And once that happened, and all the attendant publicity started, the DA's office wanted to avoid looking like idiots by dropping the case, not to mention the pressure that they're receiving from feminist rape victim-advocacy groups, who are powerful in Colorado. Given their choice, it's unlikely the DA would have brought the charges at all. Since they are stuck, they're trying their best to play a bad hand, but that means they keep trying to exclude evidence from the trial and they keep losing.
