Reply #47: Gotta keep in mind folks that Kobe and his lawyers aren't just

[MojoKrunch]

trying to prove his innocence in court but to the public at large who *buy his endorced products*.

Kobe the *commodity* is a business and this case undermines his selling power.
ESPN estimated that his defense was costing him in the 2-3 million range and I thought that was pretty cheap considering the money he could be losing.

Frankly, it won't surprise me if he skates, just like most rich people skate.

Even if they *do* find him guilty, I suspect he'll just get slapped on the wrist.

As far as his guilt or innocence, I'll wait until more evidence is presented.
For starters, an explanation of Kobe's blood on her shirt.

Now for sheer speculation, what if the "caucasion pubic hair" belonged to a boyfriend who didn't appreciate Kobe making advances and she claimed rape to keep the boyfriend happy with her?

And yes, I agree the defense lawyers behavior, which wasn't quashed by the judge *immediately*, was execrable.
