I am witnessing more disdain and outright contempt for everything female, on this post than I ever would have believed could possibly come from alleged to be conservatives. We are talking about a ninteen year old girl here. Small town, country and mountain grown. THe girl next door type, not some worldly wise, street walking tramp.

Kobe is an eleven million dollar a year, billion's of dollars draw guarantee for a pro-basketball franchise. If this precious young lady must be squashed like a bug to protect the profits of the NBA, then they will spend whatever it costs to destroy her. A small sacrifice to the consciounceless world of the big bucks power brokers.

THe defenders of Kobe don't give a damn one way or the other if she was raped or not- We should, if we wish for a world where the weak and poor, have as much right to say no, as do the rich and famous.

So wait, then country girls go to parties after an alleged rape days later? And brag about it?

Or conversely, good old girl types take pills and drink?

You don't know a damn thing except your presumption of guilt of Kobe Bryant.

Thank God you won't be on any jury.

"We should, if we wish for a world where the weak and poor, have as much right to say no, as do the rich and famous."

Well, to some of us, it seems increasingly like the "weak and poor" (who have as much access to personal injury attorneys as anyone) are increasingly preying on the rich and famous, because they think that they can get a quick cash settlement.

You'll forgive our cynicism. Kids are just not that innocent these days.

That is pretty funny. I dont think this girl is your apple-pie baking barefoot cornfed girl-next-door country virgin. It sounds like you hold miss colorado on a pretty high pedestal. Sounds like the girl is fresh off the turnip truck.

Here we go with the vast right-left-wing nba conspiracy. I enjoyed your ode to a country girl sonet... but puhleeeeze. "~My sweet biscuit eater how I adore theee~"

As long as the weak and poor aren't trying to get rich and famous on a false accusation.

FJ, I am with you on this. The D.A. would never take on such a high-profile case if he did not think he could win. Hurlbert has repeatedly said that he has conclusive evidence. The girl sustained severe injuries; Bryant's DNA was all over her; her clothing was torn; and there was other evidence in the hotel room....I am assuming blood on the carpets or bed. Other hotel guests heard the altercation and called Security.

Things do not look good for Kobe if this goes to trial. He can only hope to get a change of venue or venire. Too bad Pam Mackey can't ask for a jury from L.A.

My prediction is that with such an overabundance of evidence, Bryant will cop a plea and get off with probation. Then the girl will bring a civil suit, which she will win.

See if it doesn't happen just this way. (He says as he looks into his crystal ball....)

I am a female conservative. I don't buy into the NOW philosophy that all women are powerless victims. Women should not go to a man's hotel room, especially a famous celebrity, at 11:30 PM, claim to be be raped and then feel indignant if we appear suspicious of their motives.

Not from the pictures I have seen. She appears to have breast implants and a belly piercing. She lives in a small town which is a suburb of a very affluent area. I have seen her many of her friends interviewed on various talk shows and they look like the audience members from TRL on MTV.
