MoJoTo Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Bryant accuser will meet with prosecutors Story Tools: Print Email Colleen Slevin / Associated Press Posted: 1 hour ago DENVER (AP) - The woman who accused Kobe Bryant of rape will have to discuss with prosecutors whether she will go ahead with the criminal case because she fears the release of court documents about her sex life threatens her chance of getting a fair hearing, one of her lawyers said Wednesday. John Clune said his 20-year-old client will 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, 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 , 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. "Nothing has changed with our plans of going forward with the prosecution of this case," she said. Under pressure from the U.S. Supreme Court, District Judge Terry Ruckriegle on Monday released some 200 pages of transcripts from a closed-door hearing in June. The transcripts had been mistakenly e-mailed to The Associated Press and six other media organizations, who fought for the right to publish their contents. The documents include testimony from a DNA expert for the defense, Elizabeth Johnson, who says she is convinced the accuser had sex with someone after Bryant and before she contacted authorities - a claim that Clune has vehemently denied. Johnson based her conclusion on the discovery of another man's sperm on the woman when she underwent a rape exam at a hospital. There was no testimony in the documents from a prosecution expert on the issue. Clune and prosecutors say the transcripts are one-sided and that a gag order in the case prevents them from presenting their explanation of the damaging evidence before the trial. Prosecutors have suggested the woman put on underwear that hadn't been washed before going to the hospital, transferring semen from a man identified only as "Mr. X" to her body. The judge has said the defense can present evidence about the woman's sexual activities in the three days before the July 1, 2003, hospital exam, saying it is relevant to help determine the cause of her injuries, the source of DNA evidence and her credibility. Clune has kept a low profile during the case but on Wednesday he and Wood appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" to express their frustration with court mistakes which breached the woman's privacy. "The amount of damage that has been caused by the court's error is so harmful not only to this case but to this young woman that it would be irresponsible for us not to speak at this time," Clune told the AP. In September, the woman's name was included in a filing on a state courts Web site that was quickly removed. Last fall, the hospital where she and Bryant were examined accidentally turned over her medical records to attorneys in the case. That was followed by the e-mail mistake in June and a gaffe last week in which a sealed order by Ruckriegle was mistakenly posted on the Web site, divulging her name again and information about DNA evidence collected during Bryant's hospital exam. Bryant, 25, has pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault, saying he had consensual sex with the woman at a Vail-area resort last summer. If convicted, he faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, and a fine up to $750,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizznick Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Looks like she's going the Civil Suit route, instead. Big shock, it was all about compensation... realclearpolitics.com "Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria.

TFoA Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Well, the {for use of a better word, dirty girl} has decided to take the money route, claiming that she wouldn't get a fair trial... WTF?! COME ON!!! The trial is in a town where everyone knows her, and the laws there are in her favor, and she claims she won't get a fair trial? That is ludicrous and this proves that she was in it for the money and nothing else. And this also proves, IMO, that Kobe is innocent   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in Civil Cases it's 9 out of 12 where as in criminal cases it's all 12 either way or it's a mis-trial. I also think that where in a criminal trial the burden is on the prosecution, in a civil trial the burden is on the defendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Im on Kobes side on this. the slut goes and has sex with Kobe, then goes to a party boasts about his anatomy and the next day magically discovers she was raped. Its like the Mike Tyson case, where a woman goes up to his room, has sex with the guy, then claims rape and destroys a man's career. I supported Tyson during his case, and I support Kobe on this. What this looks like is an opportunity to get money out of him. I hope Kobe counter sues and sues her for what she is worth.
