sorry i'm late...
i think one of the reasons this case is so intriguiging is that we finally have news that isn't about terrorism, war, or the economy. its a juicy summer drama we can sink our teeth into... personally, i can't wait to get a
at this woman-child, and see why kobe risked throwing away his family, career, endorsement $$, etc.
an interesting tidbit is the fact that she once tried out for "american idol".
a defense attorney, Bob Ransome, was quoted as saying:
"If a victim in this type of case had a propensity to be seeking publicity, that would be something very, very important to me as a defense attorney. It is a possibility that this person was seeking the limelight and may find any way that she can to become a public persona. To me, it casts a shadow on the government's case, if it is true."
