It's funny but you guys question everything against Bryant and yet you accept all the accusations made (but unproven in court) by the defence against the victim.
Tell me why is your first reaction to assume she is lying? Would you want everyone to know your sexual history? Would you want everyone to know where you are living? Frnkly it is little wonder that she didn't want to take the stand.

I dont blame her for not wanting to go ahead.
For the sake of an argument, lets say kobe did rape her. Obviously the rape in itself is traumatic. Then add on top of that 1000s of people calling you a slut. A vicious pack of overpaid lawyers asking you every personal question imaginable. Incompetent courts leaking information, fans threatning to kill you and lots of other horrible things. There comes a time when she must have thought "fuck it"
And you're right, the courts have a huge responsibility in this as well. They didnt do their job, and they failed this woman in getting a fair trial. Regardless of if he raped her or not, she, and every other person deserves a fair shake.
But she's still going ahead with the civil suit. She stands to make millions of dollars. The burdan of proof is less. Why would she press on with a case where Kobe would go basically unpunished(a 10 million dollar settlement isnt going to hurt Kobe in the slightest)
And a question for you.
Why would the prosecution fight so hard to keep her sex life from being allowed as evidence? Unless there was something to hide, they really have no reason. Like I said earlier, if this girl was a virgin, you could bet your bottom dollar the prosecution would be making her out to be the second comming of the virigin mary...dont you agee?
