Of course he walks, don't you get it by now? The rich get to do what they wish, so long as they keep paying those high-priced lawyers to cash to get them out of whatever trouble they get into. Enron and OJ ring any bells?

Or maybe she really was just some money-grubbing hoe who spread her legs for dollar signs. Some whores you pay up front..... Others you pay down the line.. I'm sorry, but none of you are in his shoes and you're not fit to judge him. Just because he has money doesnt mean he bought his way out of conviction. If you think for one second that all women are above and beyond using their ****** as a weapon then you really REALLY need a reality check.

I don't profess to know the answer. Maybe he is guilty. Maybe he is innocent though. This is my biggest problem with sensationalizing court proceedings. It's really none of any of our business until the gavel falls.

Read the last part:

Bryant still faces a federal civil lawsuit filed by the accuser that seeks unspecified damages.


Yeah, "she is unable to proceed".... *********

hehe...I love how we always do the whole "people with money always walk" thing. Let me ask you this question there slick:

When's the last time you saw a man counter-charge a woman who blatantly lied about her charges of rape against him?

In my opinion, crying rape when there was none is the closest thing to a woman raping a man this society will ever see, yet for some reason, we always let it slide like it's no big deal. I think it's high time we start putting these ******* behind bars, or at least digging a bit farther for the truth...not just letting the dumb ho's walk away whenever they realize they aren't going to win.

Then again, the girl might have just been a stupid ***** though. Either way he walks, so no harm done to anyone.

1) Trials are public for a reason.

2) The gavel will fall several times during the average trial. Does that mean it becomes our business each time the court recesses?

In even more interesting news, he issued a letter after the case was dropped apologizing to the alleged victim, her family, and the citizens of Colorado. He even inclued in his letter that looking back, the alleged victim and he may not have had the same perception of consession.

With his civil case coming up, isn't this kind of shooting himself in the foot?

Associated Press

The following statement by Kobe Bryant was issued after sexual assault charges against him were dropped:

"First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.

"I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

"I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado."


Here's the link.

No harm done to anyone? Kobe Bryant's reputation was harmed irrevocablly. Whether he raped that woman or not his reputation (which is his biggest money maker) has been smeared beyond fixing. He was the "golden boy" of the NBA. No longer. Not to mention all the money spent by the citizens of Colorado.

Amazing that she is just cant go forward with the criminal trial but the civil trial (where Kobe's lawyers can really beat her up over her sexual past) is going ahead full steam. I am sure Kobe will pay her some ridiculous amount of money to make it all go away.

Not that I've even been raped, but imo the money is going to have more of a posative impact on her life than Kobe being convicted would have.

I dunno...I think sending this type of message to money grubbing women (not that they all are) around the country is a bad plan. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that to people like this chick, and yes I feel that the Kobe rape "victim" is one of these women, are going to take this as a sign that the rape "get rich quick" scheme works. And they would be right, I suppose.

If you were raped, and you want to press charges, then f'n press charges and see it through. What is this crap that she can just not show up to testify and get the case dismissed, but continue on with the civil suit? Give me an f'n break...this kinda thing seriously pisses me off...but mainly because most people just seem to look at it and go "Well, that's just the way things are.". If Kobe raped this woman, we need to know, because he shouldn't be on the damn street able to possibly rape other women. If she lied, we need to know too, because she doesn't deserve to be on the street potentially destroying other peoples lives with her BS. Instead, we get a stupid friggin civil case that will prove nothing, and resolve nothing...sure, these two jack offs will be happy, but either way society is screwed. Because one of them is a piece of ****, and both of them are back on the streets, with us.

I think she should have to return the *****.

After all, she's claiming she didn't want it. And it's not like she didn't have plenty already.







I'm SURE Kobe's being shafted on this deal. That apology letter was a bad mistake on his part. The second worst he's made. The first was cheating on his wife with this particular piece of trash. Look what it's cost him.

Out entire justice system is ruined by one flaw, the fact that the more money you have, the better off you are. Many times I've seen completley innoccent people convicted because of lack of money. The opposite holds true as well.

Face it, if this wasn't Kobe, things would have gone differently.

I suspect the truth of the situation is that Kobe showed up at the resort, she made it known to him she was interested, an arrangement was made for her to meet him in his room, they began to have consentual sex, then he decided to get freaky and nail her in the a$$. It this point she decides she's had enough, tells him to stop, he ignores her, and finishes the job.

She can't **** right for a week*, he gets accused of rape, the rest is history. He'll now settle the civil case out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Wouldn't then the actual charge be labeled "aggrivated criminal sodomy" and not "rape" ?


BTW I am so happy that he was let free. I have had the unfortunate experience to be a firsthand witness to many court appearances on rape cases. You can tell when he really raped the woman and when he didn't.

In this case, if you want my personal opinion, she wasn't. I'd bet everything I own. Unfortunately, the world will never know.

Also, I believe that the reason he had to make that apology letter was because that was the deal that his attorney's made with her.

Personally. I could care less of who he is or what he does. I don't like basketball and to be honest, I have to think hard to even know what team he is on or where they are from.

Do you guys (Lefein, argh, SuicideSquad, et al) really think that highly of The Rapist that you take his side of the story over hers? This being the same guy who's married to a woman whose beauty is such that the closest you can get to something like that is in your imagination and your hairy palm.

Granted, his accuser has some complicity in this, but to give The Rapist a pass because he happens to hoist up 50 shots for the Fakers on any given night is absurd. After all, he was willing to cheat on his wife, so what's to prevent him from engaging in some extracurricular rapine activity? In for a nickle, in for a dime, I always say...

He is innocent until proven guilty, after all.

His "apology" doesn't make me feel much better about it. I'd like to think most folks would know when sex is consentual or not. Saying "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter" sounds like "she was saying no, but I knew she meant yes. At least I thought I knew".

I think that your comparison of extramarital sex to raping is a
bit off-kilter.

Only in the court of law, Jophiel. In the court of public opinion it's an entirely different set of criteria.

UncleJeb, while I understand why you might say that, you have to see it from a different perspective-- that of one where to intentionally cause grievious harm to a marriage demonstrates either misogyny or possibly deeper issues regarding women and sex-- particularly in light of the forcible **** aspect of it --and the conscious decision to abrogate his marital vows. I am not saying that this is what is occuring in The Rapist's life, just that it is a possibility and that the decision to do what he did can point to that.

I find it interesting, however, that you dismiss extra marital sex as insignificant. If you are married or are considering getting married, I pity your wife for the grief you are already setting her up for.

Or The Rapist may be a closet homosexual with an Oedipal complex where the li'l brown starfish holds a forbidden attraction to him and he feels he can only act upon these impulses with women he has no connection to, because the mother figures in his life dominate him and he secretly despises the fact he wants to cornhole a dude. Hence the big diamond he gave his wife represents a spooge fest on the matriarch of the family.

Could happen.
