Just one question for you: How is MSNBC finding out about all of these people? Who's sending them where?

This is straight from the Clinton playbook -- sounds like something Terry Lenzner might do.

Your unwillingness even to contemplate the possibility that the Lakers would protect their bottom line with a little character assassination says a whole lot about you.

I'm glad others do see this. The Lakers and Kobe will end up spending millions, I guarantee you, to keep him from being convicted. This is a textbook case of character assassination. I don't think I have ever seen this much "dirt" reported on an unknown accuser this quickly. I have a feeling that when this is all said and done, the accuser may be suing a few media outlets.

Small town. I would also imagine that there are hundreds of investigators and reporters scouring NBA towns looking for a pattern of Kobe abusing women. It it's there, you'll hear about it. Media outlets will fall over themselves to be the first to break the story of another Kobe incident. All of Dr. Buss' money can't stop that.

The Lakers will protect their own insofar as that they support their player in the presumption of innocent until proven guilty. The Lakers aren't going to spend one red cent in Kobe's defense, except indirectly since a portion of the millions that Kobe has earned while working for the Lakers is undoubtably going towards his defense in this case. Now it's a vast Laker's conspiracy to slander the this girl... As it was previously stated on this thread... the "character assasinations" or "probably truth" as I like to refer to these reports... are coming from her own home town and her friends and people who proport know her.

Oh, please. The media is putting her friends on television to talk about her.

She could sue her friends, I guess.

If she's lying, she deserves to have her character smeared, and worse than what we've seen so far.
