Victim's blood on your shirt? Say it ain't so, Kobe!

[mr_gyptian]

I knew you'd show up.

outstanding job of rebutting my argument. again.

my tone is upsetting you? I'm so sorry Buster I don't show you my softer side. it should be apparent I could care less about my tone.

Point is. I was right about this all along. My reason for being pissed about this is what it does to people that are both victims of actual crimes. The abuse of our court system. Finally, the money wasted by the Eagle County and the 5th Judicial district on her whim.

Thank you once again for breaking out your tired ass Nazi epithet. Her crying wolf is a lot like your neo-commy yelps of everyone you disagree with being a Nazi or Fascist or Jingoist.

Great. You gonna give me a "Colorado Greeting," too, tough guy? Don't you have burning lakes of fire to attend to?

It would be kind of funny if Satan actually posted here.

You are quite the visionary aren't you?

I might have been nonplussed if you had made an argument. But as usual, you fail to even begin what an argument is.

No.

No you're not.

Well at least you're consistently schizophrenic and fascist.

Point is. I was right about this all along.

You are? Really? How so?

If she really is blowing smoke, then yeah, it's a shitty thing to do. But what really did go on? Do you really know?

Your welcome! And oh goody, I've progressed from being a "liberal" to being a "neo-commy" Yahooooo! Most amusing especially since you have absolutely no idea what my political philosophy is or where it fits on your zero dimensional scale.

But since you have so frequently provided opportunities to point out what an absolute reactionary kook you are with regards to things about which you really don't know anything, I'm more than happy to point it out. That's really all it boils down to.

Keep up the good work!

Does Kobe own a Volkswagon? That surprises me.

If she's not blowing smoke then why, when push came to shove did she make the decision not to testify? Thus causing the prosecution to not only drop the case. But the judge to declare it a mistrial with prejudice. Merits of the trial in question??? a little.

Maybe she's embarassed and humiliated that she got raped and doesn't want to relive it by testifying?

It's very common for rape victims to not even report it because of shame or embarassment or potentially having their name dragged through the mud.

I dunno, but if I got raped in the ass by some dude I'd be awfully hesitant to say to the world: "that dude raped me."

Maybe she's a neurotic freak, maybe her case is flimsy because she's pretty clearly free and easy.

I don't know what the judge means by calling it that way.

Sorry, man. I know you really do have some interesting and valid things to say sometimes. But coming in with guns blazing and stomping around really does invite some poo. We don't know what went on in there, so I for one would just as soon not jump to conclusions.

Did you know that being bitten by baby snakes is the worst? They shoot all their venom right off the bat.

You promised that we could keep it our little secret. No soup for you.

If I remember correctly, they were in jury selection when the deal went down.

Could it be that "mistrial by prejudice" has to do with a bunch of prejudiced potential jurors?

I'm looking at the legal eagles on this one.

[mr_gyptian]

that is the goddamned issue. she waited 9 months to the day it happened, to decide not to testify. All the while dragging HIS name through the mud.

edit: no it means that he can never be tried for this crime in a criminal court.

[1080Rider]

Cases are dismissed two ways. With prejudice means that it can't be refiled. W/out prejudice means it can be refiled up until the last date a charge can be filed. Here, a felony can be filed 3 yrs after the alleged event. Civil cases are different because of statute of lims and the possibility that the statute of lims was tolled... long story that you don't need to know. Bottom line, this won't be filed again as a criminal charge.

And throughout the whole process since she reported this crime to the police, who has been pushing hardest for this case???

The EC DA's office. Didn't they actually arrest Kobe against the wishes of their own police force? Again, we don't know what happened, but deciding not to testify in a case that is a complete media circus and drawing even more attention to your general sluttiness (all while important disclosure rules are ignored by the courts) seems like a reasonable decision to me whether she was actually raped OR made it up.

[mr_gyptian]

I'm acquaintances with the DA and he loathed every minute of this. There was some pressure from the community to go after him. A tangible "I moved to Cordillera to get away from people like him" sentiment was kindof unspoken. this was until the evidence started to come out regarding not only her sexual history, but her actions around the event. Then the sentiment was settle or drop the case and get it off my news stands. quite a few businesses stopped putting the Summit/Vail Daily inside their stores because of what was on the front pages.

people up here can't stand them both equally.
