We have this CONFIRMED accusation today; haven't you had the TV on; it's their latest talking point.

Evidently it is what she claimed from the beginning and hence the initial arrest stated as much.

Since you're so positive about it, how about linking the article that described him stepping in front of the door, putting his arm up to block the door, and grabbing her arm, keeping her from leaving the room.

"Several sources familiar with the case also told ABCNEWS that the accuser has alleged that she tried to leave Bryant's hotel room and he blocked the door. The sources said that the sheriff's original arrest warrant included a misdemeanor claim of false imprisonment."

I doubt it would be in the original arrest warrant if she just came up with it today.


(I hope I'm not going against protocol by posting without being directly addressed.)

haven't you had the TV on;

Knock off the tone with me, Howlin. .

I haven't been able to watch much tv today, but I heard the breathless reports on this topic as if it were "new news", when it really isn't.

This was part of the arrest from the beginning--the false imprisonment charge that the DA decided not to file, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out she was saying he wouldn't let her leave. In fact, that has been reported openly as part of the bellhop story all week.

I didn't claim to be positive of what actually happened, just what she CLAIMS happened. There is a huge difference
