"Reading this article, it appears that Kobe had a bout of "guilty" conscience by leaving early without checking out.....her story has legs...IMHO."
He had already been informed that an acusation had been made against him when he left. Would you have stayed in that hotel after having been informed that an accusation had been made against you?
I think not. Don't rush to judgement.
Ever hear of the saying..."the truth shall set you free?" Maybe Kobe needs to remember more clearly and distinctly.
