I loved the rationale quoted 'she doesn't want her sex life
exposed to the media in a criminal trial".What does she
think will happen in a civil trial??? Although Colorado
has some pretty wacky laws,so you never know.
Look for an out-of-court settlement because her lawyers'
know that Kobe doesn't want to go through a civil trial
and will be willing to settle for a couple million.

Kobe's Accuser May Discuss Dropping Case
Wednesday, August 04, 2004
John Clune said his 20-year-old client will have to talk to prosecutors soon about that and will also consider whether to file a civil suit against the NBA star.
Asked if his client is considering dropping out of the criminal case, Clune told The Associated Press: "That's something she and prosecutors will have to discuss in the immediate future. The DA's office will have to make that decision on what they want to do."
The woman's other lawyer, L. Lin Wood (search), said decisions on how to proceed should be made in a matter of days. Bryant is scheduled to go on trial Aug. 27 in Eagle, Colo.
"This young woman is not going away. Whether it proceeds criminally or civilly or both, justice is going to be had for this young woman," Clune said.
Prosecutors have been in constant contact with the accuser and her lawyers throughout the case and were told the woman would still participate even after the release of the transcripts, district attorney's spokeswoman Krista Flannigan said Wednesday.

This is all bullshit, and fodder for the news.
For one thing she CAN'T drop the charges. She can refuse to testify, but she will get supoenaed and then if she refuses to answer questions she will be held in contempt of court.
You think the prosectutor or the county is going to drop this case after the money they have spent? Not to mention this chick they found in Florida?
Granted more than likely he will be found not guilty, especially if what has been leaked about some of the evidence is true.
But it will be going to trial, unless Kobe pleads out, and that ain't happening.

Identity,
I'm inclined to agree with you. This entire stunt has been a ploy at a monetary payday from the onset. Now if Ms. promiscuity she had any intelligence about her, she would have taken the million dollars that had been offered to settle. Bad move from a counsel standpoint. As we all know this is about money rather than rape or reputation. I don't defend Kobe in any capacity, I see him, as a copulating eyesore with no decency to stay monogamous. But the question must be asked, are NBA players monogamous, I.E. Wilt, Magic...?
