Yes, the DEFENSE lawyers DO mention Rita, right after the paragraph that states:
Bryant's lawyers yesterday filed papers accusing the Eagle County Sheriff's Department and other law enforcement with violating a judge's July 24 order barring parties in the case from commenting on evidence outside of court.
And nobody ever reported the torn clothing and the drive home by the bellman except Rita -- and even SHE never reported it twice, nor has Fox News repeated it.
Tell me again how you're not anti-Kobe.
I never said I wasn't anti-Kobe. He is a lying, cheating scoundrel. That being said, I don't know if he is guilty of rape. You accept media reports favorable to your position (Kobe is innocent-no matter what!!!!). I accept no media reports as factual. I may comment on them and debate the what ifs of the situation, but I don't believe any media reports-including the Rita report. Only time will tell if any media reports are correct.
