Yes, that's true. There is a possibility that a victim won't be believed.

Until the other victims are brought forward because of the publicity.

Then they find out that each one of the victims thought they wouldn't be believed.

I dunno, I think this is gonna come down to a case of he said/she said. If I wasn't in a hurry to get to ready for work, I could probably make an analogy between this girl with Kobe and Roy with the tiger.

When's the last time your you had consensual sex and your partner's blood ended up on your shirt?

He's toast.

[mewzilla]

It's the only thing they have.

Especially if they don't have the truth on their side...

[Rytwyng]

...a "presexual agreement" drafted by a lawyer ...

...Sign a legal document to have sex? Bizarre!..

...It's a sad day when you have to sign a legal contract before having sex ...

I signed a contract like that once, and I wasn't sad at all. It began something like this: "We, the undersigned, hereby apply for a Marriage License, at the County of Ventura, California, on this date of..."

[Hildy]

I have to say something right now....What "POSH" resort would ever have a 19 year old as its "CONCIERGE?" A concierge for a resort like this would have to be really on the ball, experienced, discreet, etc. It's kind of bizarre.

VAGINAL LACERATIONS:

Response: She had numerous sexual encounters in the days immediately preceding the night she met Kobe. Some of these were lengthy and rough.

CHOKE HOLD:

Response: What choke hold? Pictures or eyewitness testimony please.

[FeliciaCat]

I know how you feel, I do the same ;)

Stick a fork in him - He's done. Yeah,things aren't looking too good for Kobe Super-Jock. Time to start thinking bout pulling out that ol'Race Card Huh.?? Just can't do this to "Mr.Laker".

[frodolives]

I don't think a long term relationship, or china patterns were on her mind. She's a horny ninteen year old with a celebrity. Maybe she was even a gold digger, hoping for a diamond bracelet as a token of the moment. Celebrities see them all the time. She wanted some mutual fun. Some atheletes are fairly skilled in that department.(um- so I'm told)

But she sure didn't intend to be hurt, raped, choked with bruises on her throat, bleeding from her privates until blood got on his shirt.

[MinuteGal]

My screams would have been heard in Timbuktu!

Leni

[Yeti]

Not relevant?

Okay, if it was the three days before the incident, it would matter. That post was made before the caffeine had thoroughly kicked in this morning.

But on further ruminaton, it occurs to me that this woman was asking the detective this question about the injuries, somone she has to know isn't qualified to answer a question like that in court. She just said it for the benefit of the press, and to assault the girl emotionally.

[Strider]

Nonsense.

Where are are the physical injuries that would shock us all.

How does a large man restrain his victim by the neck, brutally rape her and not leave any visible bruises on her neck?

If there is substance to the three men in three days comment, the defense won the day.

If there is nothing to this claim, I'd have to question the motives of the defense. However, if this is true, the vaginal injuries could be explained away. And, that seems to be all that the procecution has.

[swarthyguy]

Looks like a classic Nutty and Slutty defense.

[Palladin]

"My screams would have been heard in Timbuktu."

You keep saying this, Leni, but since you have never been in this situation, how do you know how you'd behave?

Especially as the rapist's strong hands closed around your neck.

Even you--of the big mouth and lusty yell-- might be shocked or terrified into silence.

[SerpentDove]

Looks like he's going to prison, where he belongs.
