Kobe said he was innocent of rape, but the other side of it is the fact that he actually admitted to taking part in the penetration, and nobody could prove that he didn't rape her..
Lebron said he decided on Thursday morning, but where's the other side of things?..there's nothing you can really say to counter it, you're just assuming that he's lying..
When I assume Kobe raped, I at least have something to base it on, which is the penetration..you don't have anything to base your opinion on, you just don't believe he made his decision Thursday..
