However, I know I can't throw a football 80 yards or run like a deer. This guy will play football again. You don't here anyone anymore talk about Kobe and the woman he raped. These guys feel that they are above the law, and in some cases I wonder if they really are.
I never thought Kobe was guilty. As the case progressed, more and more things came out to make that girl look like a farce - particularly the fact that she'd filed suits like that in the past. Maybe he got off because of a fast-talking legal dream team, who knows. Consensual sex with a (slightly) underage girl isn't in the same league as this though. Was she underage? I don't even remember the nuances of that case.
Agree 100% that Kobe was likely innocent of nothing more than poor morals and judgement. That woman (not underage) had gone after other famous men before. I think that Kobe was the 3rd or 4th celebrity that she filed rape charges against. She also had a long mental health history. She probably banged him, then got pissed when he threw her ass out the door after he was done.
