Bryant accuser considering civil suit

By Colleen Slevin

Aug. 4, 2004 | Denver -- 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 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."

if she couldn't win in criminal court. Wouldn't she just look like a gold digger then?

of the evidence, but in criminal it needs to be beyond a reasonable doubt.

this was NEVER about $$!

NEVER

like you're not about thongs

:P

:D

Kobe of course is free to do the same...and there wouldn't be the gag orders there are in crim court...I'd like to see both of their depositions in this case...OJ's was quite revealing..in fact, I have it on disc somewhere if anyone cares to host it.

The media is definitely on Kobe's side.

and all the errors and mistakes have favored Kobe.

court are outrageous. This woman is not having a fair hearing of her claims. No court should ever release confidential information like this one has. I would consider a civil suit, also. I suspect she can't sue the court but I wish she could.
