You guys (more than me)predicted much of what has come out. It stands to reason that the DA has some kind of evidence; he has nine years experience and doesn't seem like a fool.

This is part of why I tend to think there was an assault. I absolutely am open to exculpatory evidence, but the story started for me when the DA made his announcement that charges would be filed. I am just trying to interpret what I'm reading and hearing and don't "hope" for any outcome, except justice.

I agree. People have said I want Kobe to be found guilty-I do if he raped her, but not if he is innocent. I listen to all the evidence-such as it is- and I won't discount future evidence of any kind. I still am unable to understand why Kobe supporters (for lack of a better word) are absolutely positive he is innocent). I don't know if he is innocent are not. I think that if some of the reports about injuries,telling the bellman and physical evidence are true, then he may very well be guilty. It's not that I believe he is guilty, but that his supporters believe completely he is not guilty, and I don't think any evidence short of a confession would change their minds: I'm not sure a confession would do the trick either. Watch Kobe's lawyers desperately attempt to get a change of venue. It may be that the race card is Kobe's only card, and that won't play well in Colorado. LOL
