    It didn't go to trial. And I read it the same way (about the backdoor) but there is enough blanks that it could be something else. And I think the sex happened before his knee surgery.

    They just met 10 minutes ago, what makes Kobe think it's okay to go for the chocolate starfish. Unreal.

    Thank you.

    I don't even believe Kobe was this dumb. This is why T-Mac is a better and smarter guard than Kobe - at least he knows when to throw in the towel. Also his bodyguards are as dumb as hell. Probably none of them finish high school. How can none of them raise the attorney issue for Kobe? Weird.

    In closing, infidelity is issue an we deal everyday from our clergymen to our presidents down to littlelest person in our society. No one here should feign ignorance or holier than thou. I am married too but I fight this battle everyday because it is one I must win. That is the only crime I see in this whole Kobe thing - extra marital affairs. I pray his marriage survives. The painful truth about all of this is that it is very very hard to divorce a promiscuous lifestyle or extra marital affairs. I hope he is able to wipe his memory clean of those demonic images and rid himself of those hunting lustful pasts and move on with his family. There is always hope.

    Do you mean all the "umms" and stuttering in the questioning or do you mean they asked stupid questions? Because if it is the former I think we all might not realize how stupid we would sound if every unnecessary syllable we spoke was typed out as we had a casual conversation.

    They do sound stupid. All three of them. No doubt, but it's definately because both parties are editing the conversation before it get's to their lips. It's not free flow like when you are with your dawgs. There is lot of holding back happeneing which will cause awkwardness. It happens on first dates. You are afraid to tell the truth with a first date. And it makes it awkward.

    not to take either side here, but kobe bryant is a 6'8, 220 pound guy who is no doubt very strong. unless this was a roseanne class girl, he wouldn't have much trouble subduing her.




    well, she was having sex with him 10 minutes after they met.


    and Raven Lunatic and PSJ are right, when you're dealing with a very delicate situation and if every little umm or uhh is typed out, a lot of people would probably sound stupid.

    U r really funny. If u decide to make judgement SOLELY on defendant's transcript, I guess 99.99% of the time they are innocent.

    JayZ750,

    I guess after hearing the audio, the "uhmms" and "errrs..." make sense, don't they? Just like Raven Lunatic said...if you wrote out every syllable in OUR conversations, it would look strange.

    Once the detectives started asking about if there was sexual activity...you could tell by the detectives responses (not Kobe's; too much silence...) that they were trying to *calm Kobe down.* This is something that the text doesn't show very easily...

    The moment that the detectives started to ask questions about any sexual activity, you could tell that Kobe was "freaking out" in the background (nervousness and possibly crying....)...

    This is why all the "pauses, edits, inaudible, uhmms and oks...."
    ---
    Detective Winters: All right. Okay, hang on, hang on. Okay. So what you are saying is ...
    Detective Loya: Listen to me first okay. Let me, let me explain it to you first okay. So is there any reason why any of your pubic hair ...?
    Bryant: Well, I’m gonna tell you um, fellas ...
    Detective Loya: Just be straight up, we’re not gonna tell your wife or anything like that. Did you have sexual intercourse with her?
    Bryant: Uh, this is what I need to know because uh I did have sexual intercourse with her. Cause I was (inaudible whisper).
    ---
    Bryant: Okay, so whatever, all right but um ... what if this scenario (inaudible)
    Detective Loya: Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, hey Kobe, come (edit: calm?) down here a sec.
    Detective Winters: Well, I need you to explain something.
    Bryant: (Inaudible) tell me something.
    Detective Loya: Listen, listen, listen. Let me explain something to you. This is what happened okay. And this is what’s going to happen. We’re gonna get to the bottom of it one way or another whether it’s true or not.
    Bryant: Okay, okay...

    AGAIN, u r really funny. It's the suspect CLAIMED that the accuser asked for an autograph AND kissed him good bye. AGAIN if u decided to trust 100% of what the suspect CLAIMED, then I guess 99.99% of the time they are innocent.

    It's he said she said and she decided to backout from the trial and just go for money. Kobe was right when he guessed she wanted money.
