Come on, just by calling the girl "victim" instead of "alleged victim" does not mean the poster think Kobe is guilty. You are being legalistic. What are we CNN-for God's sake. How do you know he didn't do it? Kobe gets the benefit of the doubt. Yet, every piece of trash (some of it paid for) about the girl is breathlessly believed. We don't know if rape occurred, but there is enough evidence to have a trial.

Where have you been? Kobe is the huge under-dog in this matter!

He has everything to lose and nothing to gain. His reputation is forever blackened, and only an aquital will spare him a prison sentence.

If he's guilty, let him rot. But, if he's not??????????????

Agreed, there is enough evidence to have a trail. However, that EVIDENCE can be as little as this girl going and getting a sworn affidavit that the big bad Kobe raped her... that's it. The DA is pretty much obligated to charge Kobe based on her word alone.

We live in a modern age and just because a piece of information or a story is paid for.. doesn't necessarilly mean its untrue. Kobe has been charged of a crime.. possible life sentence in prison... innocent until proven guilty. The stories about the girl are related to the original story and criminal charge.. she's emotionally unstable, attention-starved, manipulating, lying, and suicidal ... nobody has accused her of a crime... they support the credible, or lack thereof, of the sex charges.
