This doesn't take to much insight or gut feelings. He is going to have Dream Team 2 representing him and chances are that if he raped her even with strong evidence, he will walk. I seen enough of the William Kennedy Smith trail to know that the rich and the famous have the deck stacked in their favor. OMG the evidence was stacked higher than the Sears Tower against Kennedy and he won.

For instance, the judge excluded sworn testimony by three other women who said Smith assaulted them in the 1980s, including one who said Smith raped her when she was drunk. The jury dismissed the woman's bruises as injuries sustained elsewhere. Everyone, but the jury knew he was guilty.

That why sexual history IS relevant. Both for the accuser and the accused.

The Kennedy Smith jury knew he was guilty too. Celebrity won out. Further, one of the jurors was already sexually involved with Smith's attorney. He soon divorced his wife and married the juror.....and grew a pony tail too!!!

This is a clear violation of the law and ought to have resulted in the loss of law license of the lawyer, but the Kennedy power help protect him.

Kennedy-Smith go off, because his mother lied to the court. She said that she was sleeping in the room overlooking the crime scene, and heard nothing out of the ordinary. Heard them come in, and everything seemed normal....at least if my memory serves me.

He, like Bill Clinton, was innocent of all charges. Kobe's fans said so.
