Can you say "character assassination"?

Love the bit about how it was one of her "closest friends" who spilled the beans.

*shrug* It was probably true - everyone has skeletons. When a little person gets involved in a public dispute of any sort with a big, powerful person, the little person had better be prepared to have every aspect of his/her life on display for public scrutiny and amusement. That's the joy of the US media...

Kobe is a long way from being home free. Sounds from other reports there's a lot of physical evidence. Some of her background stuff isn't coming in. The jurors may know it from the media, but if the trial stays in Eagle it might not matter. Kobe should be real nervous about this one. He may get acquitted (he already got off /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif) but he is by no means home free.
