I have definite beliefs about fairness in any case; and I don't see where you come up with my being one of his biggest fans. I don't even watch NBA basketball.

Would it ruin your day to point out that you seem to be one of the clucking crew that's pretty sure he IS guilty, disregarding your protestations?

As you said, there's plenty of emotion on both sides. I'm just not willing to join the "He has to be guilty because I read a story about it" group.

Howlin, if you're looking for fairness then that is admirable and I'm sorry to have misinterpreted your position. Originally I was neutral about this as we should be, but the all-out attack on the accuser has probably affected a lot of us in a negative way toward Kobe.
