Judge drops charge against Bryant

Message from Kobe Bryant to his accuser, the prosecutors, and the American judicial system: "I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH!!!"

EAGLE, Colorado (CNN) -- The sexual assault charge against NBA star Kobe Bryant has been dismissed in a stunning development that came less than a week before opening statements were set to begin.

Eagle County District Judge Terry Ruckriegle made the announcement in a hastily called, late-afternoon hearing. It came after prosecutors filed a motion for dismissal.

"This motion is to dismiss based on the sole fact that the victim is unable to continue," District Attorney Mark Hurlbert told the judge.

Neither Bryant nor his accuser were in the courtroom.

Bryant's attorney, Pamela Mackey, read a statement from Bryant to the court.

"I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year," the statement said.

We felt it was time to take a break from this subject.
