The group most affected, though, will be future rape victims. Bryant's entire strategy to this point appears to revolved around witness intimidation, and that strategy was permitted and worked.



Maybe. The truth is that we don't know what happened. She could have been outright raped. She could have changed her mind halfway through. She could have changed her mind afterward. She could simply be hustling for a civil settlement. Kobe could be a brutal rapist.

If he is innocent, then maybe he was just trying to traverse a flawed system.

I think one bottom line is that it came down to small town prosecutors against a no bullshit talented attorney.

If she had sex, anal or not, with days before or after her encounter mwith Kobe, then IMO that's relevant. I understand that is not the prevailing wisdom, but god forbid you or anyone you know should be accused of rape with anal tearing as evidence and then not be allowed to show other cause.

If she was raped, then sad as it is, she would have to be willing to suffer through a trial that most definitely would end up airing some of he dirty laundry(double entendre intended). That's unfortunate, but we shouldn't sacrifice truth because of it. She should stick to her story, and hopefully Kobe would be puished severely.

I just heard a report that she bled from her anus. Well, most anytime when a nonprofessional(lol) has anal sex with someone who is as large as Kobe no doubtedly is, then there will often as not be some blood.

She may have consented to fuck, and then he went rough porno style on her. She might not have expected it that rough and/or decided after the fact that it wasn't what she wanted. In that case I would be more inclined to call it simple assault, and not rape.

Of course, I'm speculating wildly, as is anyone else who thinks they know exactly what happened that night.
