Kobe Accuser's Apology Letter
The Smoking Gun ^ | 10/12/2004 | Staff

Posted on 10/14/2004 2:15:18 PM PDT by Hawk44

Said she was sorry for misleading statements to cops

OCTOBER 12--Weeks before the scheduled start of the Kobe Bryant trial, his female accuser wrote a letter apologizing for intentional misstatements she made when first interviewed last year by Colorado police. In a handwritten letter to state investigator Gerry Sandberg (a copy of which you'll find below), the woman claimed that one such "mix-up" was triggered by her concern that Detective Doug Winters, lead investigator on the Bryant case, "did not believe what had happened to me." The woman's letter, which was included in a stack of documents just released by Eagle County prosecutors, also further clarifies a "degrading comment" the NBA star allegedly made to the woman, now 20, during the pair's June 2003 encounter at a Vail-area resort.

It's in his statement to the police.

Comment often on cases you don't follow?

Facts do matter but so does the credibility of the person stating the "facts." Sorry, this girl has had credibility problems from the beginning and every man and woman should be grateful for the vetting process which took place in this case. Otherwise, our prisons would be full of adulterers serving time for rape.

Look.

The only reason I comment on this case is that from personal experience, I know from rape victims, and she's not one.

Beyond that, I have no agenda and would thank you to keep your snarky comments to yourself.

Zero sympathy from me either. The guy keeps to live on as an NBA superstar making more money every week than most people make in their lifetimes. Forty years ago he wouldn't have lived, period, five hours after this woman went to the police.

On my chain of sympathy, Kobe falls somewhere between those poor atheists whose eyes are blinded at the mere sight of the Ten Commandments, and the felons who were so rudely disenfranchised in 2000.

Since you aren't following the case very closely you aren't in a position to pronounce who is telling the truth or if this girl was a rape victim or not.

No kidding. I'm not the one making conclusions here.

WTF? I'm not following the NCLS very closely either. Guess I can't cheer the 'Stros.

I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore, so I shall merely salute you, which is your due as newly appointed Thread-Appropriate Posting Police.

Phil Jackson -- a man of true class and integrity -- and many others have expressed their opinions of Kobe Bryant. He is a lowlife adulterous dirtbag who at the very least was banging a young girl he had known for less than TWENTY MINUTES.

I get a kick out of the bozos who defend him as if he's to be admired, and as if it's unfair to hold him accountable for his actions.

Bryant complained to Laker mgmt that the private jet he was given access to for his court hearings was not spiffy enough. That's who Kobe Bryany is --- a spoiled athlete who thinks he's entitled to whatever he wants, whether it's a $30 million Gulf Stream jet or a 19 year old kid.

No one here says he shouldn't be "accountable for his actions." We just don't think he should go to jail for a crime he didn't commit.

You're right, and lots of dumb white girls who took a fancy to the hired help got back at them if they refused (or even if they didn't) by telling their shoe-sized IQ daddies that the "negro made a pass at me."

Yeah, I can just hear the longing for the "good ole days" in your post, when the only good.....well, you know the rest, don't you?

Should we send adulterers to prison?

I am not longing for anything, nor am I saying he should be lynched. I just have a hard time sympathizing with a bazillionaire who is free to keep living a bazillionaire's lifestyle. If you put things in HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, we have come a long way in those 40 years and we need to stop and appreciate that.

By the way, in case nobody told you, you WILL be called on racist remarks around here.

You said what you said. If you want to retract it, I'd suggest you do so. It was a damned ugly remark.

I did not mean it to come off that way. It was an illustration chosen for perspective only. If I had said he deserved to be lynched, that would be another matter entirely. But I didn't say any such thing, and he does not deserve that.

>>> It was a damned ugly remark.

It was purely a statement of fact included for perspective. To the extent that it could be construed that I encourage lynching, I retract it. JEEZ!!!
