By: Anonymous	Published: 07/21/2003
EAGLE, Colo. -- While the sensational atmospherics of a criminal battle involving a major celebrity frantically accelerate in this small town, legal experts maintain the felony sexual assault case against Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant remains likely to be decided by the evidence and how it is interpreted. The case itself, as well as the reputations and histories of Bryant, the alleged victim and their lawyers and witnesses, likely will be tried many times in the media and the public before developments begin occurring in a courtroom Investigators for Eagle County District Attorney Mark Hurlbert's office likely will look into Bryant's sexual history, while the defense team likely will dig into the alleged victim's past. Bryant, 24, spoke to the media Friday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with his wife, Vanessa, at his side, Mackey and fellow defense lawyer Hal Haddon seated next to her and Lakers officials standing nearby. "I have a lot at stake, and that has nothing to do with the game of basketball, nothing to do with endorsements. This is about us; this is about our family. I've been falsely accused of something. I'm innocent," said Bryant, who has a 6-month-old daughter. Details about the alleged victim have emerged: She was a cheerleader and sang in the choir at Eagle Valley High; she's a student at the University of Northern Colorado; she tried out last year for American Idol. Sunday, The Orange County Register quoted Lindsey McKinney, a friend of the woman, as saying of what McKinney described as the overdose, "I think it was just a cry for help."

I dunno (0 replies) started by tjshere (07.22.2003 8:41:22 PM EST) About the rest of the country, but here in SoCal this story is totally saturating the media. Not just the sports talk shows, the entire media. This figures to be one hell of a juicy trial and I'm sure all parties involved will come out of it battered and bruised no matter what the outcome.
