more confusion in the Kobe caseESPN's latest report provides depth sorely lacking from their other reports, but this case is still a complete mystery. Yesterday the big story was that Kobe had been picked-up by a cab at a hospital emergency room 12 hours after the alleged sex-crime took place. My reaction: so what... what does that mean? It had been reported that Kobe was in Colorado to undergo knee surgery. Was this cab ride his post knee surgery transportation? The media was very unclear. Today's report is entirely different. ESPN reports that the 19 year old victim was also in the emergency room with Kobe. At that time Kobe donated some of his DNA, most likely so it could be checked against anything found on the victim. I'm not sure of Kobe travels with a posse like most NBA players, but if I had to write this as a movie-of-the-week, I would imagine this is the story of a star-struck girl who gets invited to party with a famous NBA player, gets totally wasted, and then had sex with one of Kobe's posse. That's still just pure speculation at this point. As for David Aldridge's whore, the story linked above tells a different tale: The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that the alleged victim is a former cheerleader and choir singer at Eagle Valley High School who was described as "fun- loving, outgoing and emotional" by friends. |
