We'll have to wait and see, won't we?
Wanna bet?
There has also been a rush to judgement based on the notion that semen means rape -- this woman is a stripper!
Two words.
"Tawana Brawley."
There you go; you're putting words in her mouth. You have no clue what she told the police.
We don't even know if there was any semen!
If you doubt my conservative beliefs and I can argue those too.
From Kathleen Wiley to Vince Foster and Bernie Neusbam with a suicide note the was torn in many pieces with no fingerprints.
From Betty Currie to Vernon Jordan.

Interesting...
"We'll have to wait and see, won't we?"
Ok, then lets do that. Meanwhile, can we go ahead and argue the facts of THIS case, and leave OakOak's character assasination to later?
"Wanna bet?"
No, but I promise to give you bragging rights if you're correct.
Oak, what is your source for this:
The woman in the Kobe Bryant case got a settlement before the Civil case
Before the case? From who?
Do want to go on record as say unequivocably that this woman's story will be supported by the evidence?
You show your ignorance. They reached an out-of-court settlement.
Oh my.
.
Fight the good fight. Keep fighting the fair fight, Howlin. I love Free Republic and thank Jim for all the good and positive aspects it brings into my world.
Now you're reaching.
I am on record on the first thread about this story on this forum as thinking her story smelled to high hell.
Way back in March. Way before you got here 3 days ago.
That is based on her account of what happened- that three lax players dragged her into the bathroom and raped her. But the players have argued that none of them even had consenual sex with her- she came in drunk and bruised up, she and her partner danced for about three minutes, they then locked themselves in the bathroom for about 30 minutes, then they left with the $800. So if the player's account is accurate, there should be no semen from the lax players found inside of her.
she could argue they wore condoms too which woudl negate leaving anything behind)
That's possible, although I agree with the defense attorneys that it seem hard to imagine that three drunk players were able to rape her vaginally, orally, and anally without leave any DNA. It is also hard to imagine that she was raped orally yet wouldn't be able to tell whether they used a condom or not.
I agree. She needs to lose her show and be turned into a file clerk at a courthouse somewhere.
Safer for everybody.

DENVER - With a terse news release and an even terser court filing, the sordid sexual assault case against Kobe Bryant that gripped the nation abruptly ended with an agreement that ensures the NBA star never goes to trial for what happened in a hotel room two years ago.
Few experts believed the civil lawsuit would ever be heard by a jury, saying it was unlikely that Bryant and the 20-year-old woman who accused him of raping her relished the prospect of having to divulge potentially embarrassing, intimate details in a courtroom.
Although no mention of a monetary settlement was made, Bryant agreed to negotiate a monetary settlement, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
I was thinking sequentially...
Here's a clue for you: that was AFTER the trial was underway, not before.
