Re: Say it Ain't So, Kobe!

Already we've put "Kobe" and "rapist" in the same sentence and this really disturbs me. He was charged with sexual assault, not rape. Under Colorado law, sexual assault could range from fondling to rape. The facts are still unclear on the case and we're already screaming rape.

Also, it now appears to be bias in this ordeal. Quoting from ESPN

Bryant's attorneys accused the sheriff's office of "complete bias" and said it ignored the wishes of the district attorney in obtaining the arrest warrant.

"Contrary to the direct instruction of the district attorney's office, the Eagle County sheriff's office sought and obtained an arrest warrant ... this action illustrates the complete bias of the sheriff's office," said Denver attorney Pamela Mackey in a statement released earlier Monday.


Prosecuters are still thinking if they have enough evidence to even charge Kobe with sexual assault. Note, he's only been accused, not even formally charged!!!!

Putting Kobe Bryant down to the same level as Mike Tyson is a travesty. Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist (though he still claims he didn't and wished he did) and a felon. I'm conjecturing that this entire preceeding is a smear campaign or a get rich scheme to ruin Kobe and already it seems to be working. What's the saying? Innocent until proven guilty? Seems like in our minds we've already hanged Kobe... Let's wait till all the facts are out.
