Kobe Gets Off?

I haven't been following the Kobe Bryant case much lately- and how can you, when most media attention is being taken up by another good-looking white woman who was murdered by her husband- but the news yesterday was decidedly mixed.

First, a consensus seemed to emerge that the evidence against the Laker star was so weak and the doubts about his accuser so strong that that the case may not even go to trial. But yesterday afternoon, Sports Illustrated reported that a second accuser has come forward, who says Kobe once groped her at a party at Shaquille O’Neal’s house- opening up the possibility that Shaq could end up testifying against his ex-teammate/ex-friend.

I’m not sure what to make of all this, except that as soon as I get cable in my new apartment, I can’t wait for the 40 hours of analysis of the situation from Stephen A. Smith.
