"As for Rita naming the bellhop, don't you think most of these reporters already know the identities of every hotel staff working that night and have been trying to dig up information from them?"

I did not hear her name the bellhop. It is reasonable to assume the reporters, the DAs staff and the defense ALL have lists of every person that is involved (actually or potentially).

I read a couple of days ago that the defendant's team has Private Investigators, no doubt searching for anything they can find, which could prove useful to their case.

Be certain the defense will have developed a negative slant, for any witness which is favorable to the prosecution's case.

Do you think the DA's office isn't doing that?

And why are you so seemingly offended that Kobe would try to defend himself?
