This is my last post on this subject. This case didn't even go to a trial so to compare this to an OJ Simpson case is insane. There is evidence that this women had sex with 3 other men the past 3 days. There was no evidence of her having any physical injuries from the rape. She was more interested in money from Kobe that wanted to press charges for rape. I think you are a racist from what you have said Carlyle. . Kobe is not guilty until proven innocent unless you are a racist Carlyle. I'm not responded anymore. There is absolutely no evidence here of a rape other then the women saying she was raped. Yes, Bryant is a scumbag, he is an adulterer, but he is not a rapist plain and simple. To judge somebody as a rapist without any evidence as such is evil. Maybe you are a rapist because somebody emailed me that you are. I don't have any evidence but hey I don't need any. Here are some of the comments on one of the boards that was discussing this case.

I have followed this case daily and still have not formed an opinion.
Him being a star put aside, I wouldn't want anyone going to prison for something he didn't do.
On the other hand, if she is telling the truth I think he should pay dearly.
She told someone before going to his room (up the back stairs) that "I bet he makes the move on me"... well, just what does the "move" entail?
Also, that underwear thing. There was semen DNA from someone else. She said her boyfriend wore a condom... 3 guys in 24 hours? I don't know. Too much speculation at this time.

Since he's such an arrogant [censored], it's going to be very hard to root for this girl.
I can't say that I'd be rooting for her, I heard that the charges were dropped because she had refused to testify against him.
Dropping the criminal case for the civil case reeks of 'it's all about the money'
I can't imagine a real rape victim would want money from her rapist, they would want justice. They would want to see the rapist prosecuted come what may. They want to fight back...not get paid for the sex.
I can't imagine many if any women settling for cash from a rapist. How vulgar is that.

It's also been said she had sex after the rape... that wouldn't be good for her or the prosecution. It's also been said she had no bruises, scrapes, etc. only some reddness that could be from multiple sexual encounters.
I just haven't formed an opinion yet
