and why would the victim's medical history or her shot at a spot on a tv show being anything more than anectdotal,but people here have run with it....

Because with our legal system the way it is ---where you can be accused of a crime but are presumed innocent until proven guilty, someone can't just accuse you of something and get you locked up for life. There will be a trial and very obviously the credibility of all witnesses ----including the accuser's own credibility will be examined.

Well, I see no reason why we can't discuss Kobe's credibility based on media reports (some true/some not). The cheerleader is fair game-fine- then Kobe is fair game also. This is not a court of law; it's F.R. ;this has nothing to do with innocent until proven guilty. All of us-even those who lean toward thinking Kobe is guilty -have a right to our opinion and can post accordingly.
