Reply #70: the public charges also taint the jury against the alleged victim [View All]

Kobe is no slouch. If he is innocent. Justice will prevail.

If you have never sat in court under questioning from both the DA and the alleged rapists attorney, trust me, this girl has to be one hell of an ace she thinks she can lie through that. Not that there aren't women who couldn't I grant you their are.

One way or another, the defense attorney's job is to paint a picture of this girl that if she is telling the truth, she will not believe her ears the story that he will have concocted it may well have nothing to do with what occurred. Nor, if she is telling the truth, will she recognize that girl in that picture the defense attorney will paint, which he will insist is a picture of her, when it may very well not be her not even close.

Character assassination is the defense attorney's most potent weapon. Because it is a he said she said dynamic for the most part, BELIEVABLITY of both parties testamonies factors in very big in a rape trial.

So for what this girl will be put through on grill, what a crust she will have to have IF she is telling the truth to sustain the further damage cross will be to her, and this day will come back to haunt her too. Under jury scrutiny, IF she is lying she better be a real ace, because there will be members of that jury with some of the same bias evident here. Some of this bias we see here is completely unconscious. From what I remember, she is a witness for the state I do believe she has to be put on the stand, I am not sure he does.

Another sad fact of the matter in this society we love to hate a hero, and there will be some of that entering into the equation as well. Truth is there are those that no matter what the truth really is would love to see either of them lose. In this case to the eye it looks like Kobe has the most to lose. Probably there are those would love to see him fall. Dang our human natures!
