Reply #49: Two points rapidly being lost in the clutter

[Padraig18]

Point 1.) Kobe Bryant is persumed innocent until proven guilty, and he is entitled to a vigorous defense; if his lawyers did NOT question physical evidence, statements and witness' testimony, they would be committing malpractice.

Point 2.) Vigorous sexual intercourse can cause injuries to the vulva and vagina which are NOT greatly different from those one would expect to find on the victim in this case; therefore, evidence of another man's semen on the victim's panties is HIGHLY material and relevant.

While I do not believe an alleged rape victim should be pilloried for her sexual past, neither do I believe that she is entitled to be believed automatically. If the physical evidence, witness' statements, etc., cannot be examined and subjected to cross-examination, then what is the point of an evidentiary (preliminary) hearing, may I ask?
