Why would you doubt that? Do you realize how much money the team recently spent trying to guarantee a championship in the 2003-2004 season? What about their investment in Kobe?
#66 posted to you showed that some of these people claiming to know the acuser really don't know her. Then there are the "anonymous sources". Like I posted before, by the time this gets to trial, the lies told about her will be beyond absurd. I think this will end up hurting Kobe for one, and most likely, 90% of this stuff "dug up" wont even be admissable in court. If there is physical evidence of force, and his testimony doesn't prove to be more credible and have a good explanation, then his career in basketball is over. He knows that. So does the Laker organization.
