Could Kobe Tape Validate Accuser's Story?

[doobs]

Something did happen, Kobe cheated on his wife. But in our society, cheating is not good enough for some people. It has to be distorted to rape in order to appease our own prejudices.

We don't know what happened that night. In the world we live in, celebrities are often extorted for money. It's the price they pay for fame.

To me, it's much easier to believe a sane man rather than believe a certified crazy person. She suffers from suicidal tendencies and schizophrenia, how can we reliably believe that her mind didn't make it all up?

Put yourself in Kobe's shoes, if you were accused of rape by somebody with schizophrenia, would it be true? Should we believe your word or his?

Ah, you subtly called me a . Nice one.

Like you said, celebrities "pay the price of fame." How can you really feel sorry for Kobe, then? At best, Kobe strayed from his marriage and ed a girl he barely knew. Reckless thing to do for someone in Kobe's shoes, if you ask me. He got what was coming to him.

And the police interview makes me question Kobe's credibility. He lied to the cops, contradicted himself, and then finally "confessed" only to having had consensual sex. Meanwhile, the cops let him get away with it. ing pathetic.

But if you want to beat up on the accuser, that's fine. Personally, I don't know what happened, nor do I really care. I do know that those who defend their hero Kobe against all the world and act like they know what happened that night are idiots.

Actually, Kobe did eventually understand it was not consensual... per his own statement:

I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

There's no ambiguity or distortion there...

"I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual"

There was also this part in the same statement he issued. He contradicts himself, I"m guessing it was all part of the agreement where they both got a little personal justice..he states he doesn't agree but he also states her position. This way they both feel vindicated.

Then again, this thread is indeed lame.

Agreed.

[ElNono]

Agreed.

Sig bets suck, uh?

Sig bets suck, uh?

2 more weeks of this .

[vander]

people just won't stop trying to tear him down, he's the best Basketball player ever, get over it, some off-court sex scandal isn't going to make your team or your life any better.

what do you want? you want him to go run and hide and let lesser players win in his absence like Tiger?

If you actually like golf you respect Tiger and want him out there, and if you actually like Basketball you respect Kobe and want him out there.

Kobe has certainly raped the *purs enough for you to all be experts on it!

Happy Holidays!

[mytespurs]

What is the point of rehasing the past?!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

all i know is that that white chick must have a HUGE A.H.

Kobe got away with sodomy rape and he's rewarded with pau gasol

proof number 35 related to kobe that there is no god.

[Stand]

The accuser pulled out of the case when it was found out that the accuser had

1) Man juice from 4 different men in her when she went to the examination.

2) The accuser was previously suicidal

3) The accuser had schizophrenia which is a mental disorder that clouds a person's perception of reality versus fantasy. You and I may fantasize, but a person with schizophrenia believes their daydreaming to be real.

Do you ever actually plan on backing up statements 1 and 3 with a credible source? Or are you content with just passing off BS as facts?

[Manu-of-steel]

If you have sex with someone with schizophrenia- a person with clouded judgment, then, it must be rape because of the lack of ability to have a rational thinking.

[TDMVPDPOY]

so whats the difference between a high profile person layin a load on a womans face compared to the avg joe who does it to another woman,

fkn media always blows things up to proportion just to make a buck....

[slayermin]

Rape is rape. Hollywood gave Jodi Foster an Oscar for playing a pros ute that was gang raped. Story wasn't exactly the same but similar.

[Pero]

Kobe has a spotless criminal record. And he does not have to register as a sex offender when he changes his residence.

Woe be the days that we, as a supposed "enlightened" civilization, prosecute men and women for crimes which they have not committed.

I live on Earth, where do you live?

[hater]

talk about sensationalism.

what possibly could Kobe do to the chick's face to destroy his image

he could piss/ /vomit on her face and I dont see lakerfan flinching. On the contrary, lakerfan will probably defend Kobe

Agreed.

I love how lakerfans suddenly become lawyers on this subject

[hater]

he's the best Basketball player ever,

Jordan says o

This thread needs to be deleted or locked.

Kobe Haters, get over it!

I don't see anything wrong with a few donkey punches in the middle of a romantic interlude.

hahaha, so while jordan bangs models kobe gets it on with suicidal, certified crazy, used s (AND he gets caught for it)

and his groupies insist he's got something on his airness...

[JamStone]

You act like Michael only banged models. Did you see some of Michael's mistresses. It's not like he was averse to banging random average looking skanks. He wasn't.

[21_Blessings]

Kobe Bryant: Player of the decade.

Sorry Timmy

[tmtcsc]

He'll always be a rapist in my eyes.

He certainly raped the Spurs a few times. As much as I hate to admit that. The dude is money on the court.

damn it jamstone, i'm baiting laker fans here, why stick your nose in?

besides, you'll have to do more than show me some pic of MJ dancing with a couple of random chicks to trump suicidal, schizo, status that laker fan himself attributed to kobe's women.

Innocence

The presumption of innocence – being considered innocent until proven guilty – is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern countries.

The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the trier of fact, who are restrained and ordered by law to consider only actual evidence and testimony that is legally admissible, and in most cases lawfully obtained, that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In case of remaining doubts, the accused is to be acquitted.

This presumption is seen to stem from the Latin legal principle that "ei in bit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat"

"the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies"

I also presume that Kobe loves to blow loads in womens faces.

The accuser pulled out ......

She and Kobe have something in common after all.

[Agloco]

Ask Vanessa about Kobe's innocence.
