Then a year later she filed a civil case where ding ding ding you guessed it the only outcome for her is a financial one so why would he go through that dragging it out for what could be years, losing money, time, sponsorship etc when he can just settle with her with no admission of guilt, he's rich and it saves himself and his family dragging it out. You might say oh well if he was innocent then he should have fought it but we can't comment on that until we ourselves are in that position and have had people who know what they're talking about and fully understand the situation explain it all to us.
Two people were in that room and know what happened and that's it but personally I can't fathom why she wouldn't go through with the criminal trial but maybe we can say she was too traumatized by such a horrific event.
Lets she what she's got to say about it via some comedy rap...

Very traumatized by the look of it.
The only court Kobe was convicted in was the media one when they had a chance to churn out article after article making whatever unfounded accusations they wanted regardless of accuracy or truth in order to cash in.
The media is there to make money, not report on topics factually. Please don't ever forget that and don't bandwagon with them without questioning their intent.
My feedback thread is here.
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
Just cos I've never heard of him doesn't mean he's a nobody.
I'd barely heard of Harry and Megs yet they're still headline news - apparently.
If you have no idea who he is then your favourite sportsperson/athlete does. And it's a pretty surefire bet that they idolise the man.
Think if it's big enough to make headline news, it's probably because the person in question is headline worthy. Just because you're too ignorant to care doesn't mean others are.
My feedback thread is here.
Even if you have no idea who it is, a 41 year old man and his teenage daughter have had their lives cut short in one of the most horrific ways I could imagine.
Show some respect.
I'm not setting any bars. The media might be. Your perspective on this is a bit skewed, I fear.
His death caused a brief flurry of interest and topped the news stories in the UK very briefly as it probably should, now we can all go back to ignoring US domestic sports.
Surely that is worth more than a sarcastic snide remark on an internet forum hoping to score some meaningless points.
The articles were along the lines of 'this guy was great at basketball and he did so and so record. There was a rape case but charges were dropped'.
The average person wouldn't really think anything of that. If any thoughts occurred they would probably be more along the lines of "charges were dropped? She probably made it all up".
Read a bit more though and you find that he admits it happened, but claims that he thought it was consensual. Then the focus is on him with his wife and child by his side, apologising for adultery. As though to say this is a guy that is fallible and can make errors but he'll admit them. He did a bad thing but not that bad.
So at a casual glance most people can understand that. Things happen don't they?
She agreed to go in to a hotel room with him alone. She says she only agreed to kiss on his bed, but that he then started to grope her.
Again here you're thinking "well that's just what happens isn't it? First you're kissing, then you touch her up, then you start doing it. What did she think was going to happen? This is ludicr... Oh what?"
Authorities said the woman was examined at a hospital the day after the encounter and had injuries “not consistent with consensual sex.”
She also had a small bruise on her jawline and her blood was found on the T-shirt Bryant wore on the night of the incident, cops said.
Well shit, that's a bit of a red flag. Let me just read back here, I'm sure there's some explanation. Yeah it was the day after, so she could have hurt herself and framed no wait there's her blood on his shirt.
Now I'm 50 pages deep in Google trying to make excuses for this guy, but I'm coming up short. What I'm coming away with is a mid 20s guy, very talented and very famous, making a lot of money for himself and some of the world's biggest companies and will be for years to come. 19 year old makes some allegations which could see him in prison for life, so in the best interest of everyone's money she needs to go away.
What they do care about is what's new. As this Coronavirus news has been front page news for at least the past 10 days, I doubt it's as "new" news than the death of a sporting megastar literally hours before. The horrific shock nature of it will only compound the news. You can debate yourself whether someone who has had an impact on so many lives deserves such an obituary.
But you pig bangers would rather play dumb and whinge about it than actually do anything constructive.
