Which, of course, turned out to be a lie on the part of the police.

I don't know if the police were lying or not (read their statements carefully), but under the circumstances I have no problem with the police lying to try to get Kobe to make admissions which tend to prove a consciousness of guilt rather than the indignancy of a person falsely accused.

Michael Baden and the SARS nurses told the DA that the "evidence" they saw didn't prove rape...

Physical evidence alone would not be likely to prove a rape by threat of force. Nevertheless, they had her blood on Kobe's shirt.

First of all, the semen and pubic hair turned out to be from a WHITE GUY.

And even if it doesn't bother you that they lied, they STILL didn't get Kobe to confess to anything other than consensual sexual intercourse, did they?

You are aware, aren't you, that Michael Baden AND the SARS nurses were the ones who were suppose to PROVE this case for the DA, right?

Simply put, there is NO credible evidence of rape, much less forced rape.
