[Trust but Verify]

There is nothing in Bryant's past to suggest he is the type to 'attack' a woman, as is claimed in this story. If they were involved in some sort of activity and it went too far, maybe. But 'aatack' makes it sound like it was sudden and violent, whether physically or sexually. I find that difficult to beleive.

There is nothing in Bryant's past to suggest he is the type to 'attack' a woman, as is claimed in this story.

There was nothing in OJ Simpson's well-groomed past, either. That's why many of us who grew up idolizing him were astounded when his case unfolded before our eyes. Some of us even prayed he wouldn't harm himself in back of the Bronco, only to later regret that he received such a "fair" trial.

What you know about Kobe Bryant is all you're supposed to know. His well-crafted and highly-polished public persona may or may not fully represent his private life. That's why he was able for a week or so to laugh this whole thing off by telling reporters that they know him and he shouldn't have to explain anything. We only see a veneer; there's more to people that we don't usually get to see. Except in times like this.

We'll find out the truth when documents are unsealed, pictures are shown, and someone -- the accused or the accuser, since she has been so savagely impugned by others -- is shown to be telling the truth.
