I know that...Got it the first time. I'm a very careful reader.

Your too late, your too LATE!! I already said the same thing 20 posts ago!!!

The Capt. (you heard it from me FIRST! ) LOL

Cherry,

I tire of making this point on these threads, but in a sexual assault case where identity is not in question, one person is a liar. So, by asserting one's innocence, you necessarily imply or overtly state that the accuser is a liar or nutjob.

And let's say for a moment he is innocent of assault. What would that make the girl?

[Xenalyte]

Partly lucky, but I comport myself in such a way as to inspire respect. I also hang with guys who wouldn't dis a chick.

17 days to come up with charges. This sounds strange. Rape usually has apparent forensic signs on a woman. And it does not take that long to come up with the evidence.

I have a wait and see attitude on this....

I think Great Van Sustern nailed it on the head with this one. She says it doesn't take 17 days. If his DNA is in her and it's his word against hers you put it to a jury and let them decide who's credible. My guess is that's whats happening here.

Remember that boys when you have sex with these girls today. If she says you raped her the DA is practially OBLIGATED to file charges against you. Period.

Will this trial be known as the "Kobe Beef"???

[Miss Marple]

I think I agree with you. This should shut up the talk shows for at least a few days, and I for one will welcome the break.

[Skywalk]

Excellent work, techcor!


My respect has plummeted for him, based strictly on the adultery.

But plenty of people have cheated without being rapists. So I'm willing to presume him innocent of that type of evil.

Hmmm.... if they have this trial in vail, there aint a lot of brothers to fill a jury pool.

[cyncooper]

Are the legions of brain-dead American sheeple going to slobber to watch this and become the 'market pull' for us as a Nation to now have KOBE BRYANT 24/7 News, harking back to the OJ Simpson days, where NOTHING but that stupid story will ever matter?

No. He doesn't have the same place in American imagery as OJ did. It won't reach OJ levels, though it certainly will get coverage.

whats a class 3 felony?

They base it on penis size. There goes another stereotype.

Johnny's Response: If the pecker doesn't fit, you must acquit!

Typical FReeper Law and Order Type horseshit.

I don't understand... as a nwbie here. Is this typical? I got blasted cuz I said I hope he fares well. What f&%# is wrong with speaking your mind on something?

[george wythe]

Kobe already admitted to adultery.

Kobe lost his squeaky clean image, at least with me.

I was stunned, since I was expecting no charges to be filed, to be completely honest.

I only watch sports on TV, and I hate when one of my sports heros falls from the pedestal.

[samuel_adams_us]

If they didn't file the charges, Kobe would sue the .... out them for harassment. This young lady will be grilled before this is done. Kobe's lawyers will be kicking her around like a soccer ball and she is already known to have mental problems and many failed relationships, etc.

"Athletes are targets of this stuff. And the women get protection from day one as victims with out having proven it in court"

Bullship!!!!

the victims are always denigrated as "hoes" or "looking for it" and that is what exactly has happened in this case....

I suppose you think that Laci Peterson just killed herself for the notoriety as well....

[Rebelbase]

If there ain't no stain you must refrain!

[Capt.YankeeMike]

commonly known as "Date Rape" its goes on, both parties get hot and bothered, its clothes off time, a lot of rubbing, kissin, then, at the last possible moment, she gets cold feet and says "no" .....he cant/wouldnt/couldnt/ didnt want to stop, so there you go.....

[bedolido]

Why is everyone so touchy today... it's friday and all the freep-a-thon postings will be gone by Monday... Be well friend

[techcor]

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty but he better not try the "You know me better than that" defense. Because everyone also thought he wasn't the kind of guy to commit adultry in the first place.
