I hate to say it, but in this case, the defendant has the advantage. Most criminals don't think they did anything wrong. Therefor they don't think they are lying. And therefor they can fool the machine. Kobe, if guilty, may honestly not think he raped her even if he did. So the machine can't pick that up. It's sad. But it's just like George Cosanza said. If you believe in the lie it's not a lie.
If lie detectors were reliable there'd be no point to a large portion of the legal system. mull that over for a while. I would imagine "human lie detectors" would be even less reliable.
If Kobe is guilty, then I'm just a little curious. If he was that desperate for a piece of ass, why didn't he just drive into the city, go to the club, and hook up with some slut? You know that plenty of chicks would have spread their legs for the 3-time NBA champ.
Lie detectors can never be used as a source of evidence because of the margin of error. When you look at an individual case, an accuracy rating of, say, 85% seems pretty high. But then take that assumption, and make it a means of determining guilt or innocence, and that means 15 out of every hundred people convicted by virtue of that system are innocent. That would be reality...would you want that to be ennacted? And were you an innocent defendant, would you want to take that chance? So the assumption that only guilty people would refuse is seriously dangerous not to mention an inversion of the burden of proof.
There are also drugs that can force you to answer any questions. Give both of them a good doze, and ask factual questions, such as: did she ever say no? Unless one is 007 type, those drugs must be very effective.
regarding kobe bryant cheating on his wife, has anyone give any thoughts to the possibility that maybe the bryants have the sort of relationship that is open to casual sex with different people? vanessa is a hip hip, hip lady.
Well, she definitely forgave him pretty quick. And even if they did not have an agreement, she may have just not cared. I mean, if she divorces him she's probably not going to have the same access to all that money.
Wasn't he saying how he had to answer to his wife and to his God, implying that he had sinned, but was not guilty of breaking any laws.
One thing you got to remember about Vanessa, she will never make the kind of money Kobe makes. This plus the fact that she recently had his baby means that she must stand by her man no matter what. Kobe could have raped the who cheerleading squad and Van would have still stood by him. The reason is simple, if Kobe loses, Vanessa loses. Kobe is her security blanket. It's too bad Patrick Ewing wasn't coaching the Lakers. Otherwise he would have taught Kobe that if he wanted meat, he should hook up with an escort or hooker. That's what they are there for...sex without commitment for married men. In this case, there certainly was intercourse. If the girl was willing, it was consensual. If she was not, it was rape. The girl gets to make the call in this case and she ended up calling the police. I think the argument that she was in this for the fame and money is totally bogus. First of all, nothing about money have been mentioned anywhere, even by Kobe. As for fame, this is not the kind that some 19 year old would seek. In fact, we all still don't know who she is so some fame. Kobe's goose is cooked and his defence will only throw him into the fire. His attorneys are going to try to show that the 19 year old is some hardened ho. Good luck...most girls that age do not become hardened hoes...they are at most stupid but innocent. Only women in their late 20's been around the block enough time to become cynical hardened hoes. Kobe's defence is going to turn our stomachs.
