  • Judge Says Kobe Bryant Can't Circumvent Rape Shield Law

    The judge in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case on Thursday rejected arguments by the NBA star's attorneys that the state's rape-shield law is unconstitutional.

    The rape-shield law, which has withstood other challenges since it was enacted in the mid-1970s, generally bars defense attorneys from using information about the sexual history of alleged assault victims.

    Defense attorney Hal Haddon argued that the law violates Bryant's right to equal protection under the law because under another state law, a defendant's sexual history is presumed to be relevant and is admissible at trial.

    State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle said Bryant's sexual history will not be brought up in court, making that argument irrelevant.

    He also noted that numerous witnesses have testified behind closed doors about the consensual sexual activities of the alleged victim before her encounter with Bryant last summer, ensuring the defense a chance to introduce that information as evidence.

    Then the sexual past will be brought up in court. The judge didn't block shit lol

    I think Kobe should offer what this slut really wants...Money.

    No doubt he probably slept with her and she thought she would get more and he showed her stupid groupie butt the door and now she is crying rape, while other women who really have been raped are going through hell.

    I am no Kobe fan at all but this chick with her draws full of different semen needs her ass thrown in jail for wasting taxpayers money and the courts time.
