 Ever since this whole thing started it has been obvious that the girl involved is a golddigger and a ho, I'm cool with havin' sex and all but three different dudes in as many days should tell everyone what kind of chick they are dealing with, plus all the other evidence pointing towards the unstable mental state of this girl.
 I don't think it was right that Kobe cheated on his wife, but I never believed for one second that he raped that girl.

Judge asks for less paperwork
Inside the courthouse, the parents of the accuser sat 15 feet from Bryant, who directed his attention to his attorneys, occasionally whispering to them.

Also Friday, lawyers for both sides agreed they wanted to move the case forward quickly. To that end, Ruckriegel asked them to decrease the amount of paperwork they have generated.

"I have more files in this case from you lawyers than I had from a death penalty case that I dealt with, and that death penalty case lasted 18 months," Ruckriegel told the lawyers. "So slow down the files if you want this case to move quicker."

Ruckriegel announced in court that both sides have agreed to share evidence. That means defense experts will be able to scrutinize clothing and DNA evidence that the prosecution has, he said.

But the fate of notes taken by counselors at a rape crisis center that the woman visited shortly after the alleged assault remained uncertain.

The crisis center has said the notes are privileged, and should not be released to the defense. The judge said he will decide whether to hold a hearing on the matter.

The case is expected to go to trial this spring.



Poor judge
