"..how about a plea bargain?"
The DA says his case can be proved, beyond reasonable doubt.
Looks like he has a strong hand, going in. It would appear if any side would be interested in discussing plea bargain, it would be Kobe's defense team.
His defense isn't simply about defending him in a winner take all duel.
If they believe their client would be convicted at trial, they should advise Bryant that his best outcome is plead guilty to lesser charge(s).
If the DA is dealing.

If they believe their client would be convicted at trial, they should advise Bryant that his best outcome is plead guilty to lesser charge(s). Although to Bryant it may look pretty all or nothing. Any felony conviction, including a plea to a lesser charge, probably ends his NBA career. He might decide to role the dice and pray.
He could also be innocent (or at least believe himself to be), and an innocent man is probably less likely to be willing to accept a plea.
