Hence, O.J. is innocent. I'm just messing with you guys. He really is innocent though.
The reason I posted an opposite story was to illustrate the fact that you can make up lots of stories to go with the known facts. This is how Johnny Cochran talked a jury into believing OJ was innocent.

That's the thing though. I mean, I really didn't know that much about the OJ trial, so to simply guess he was guilty would be kind of presumtuous of me, but let's say he was. The thing is, OJ, who never had the clean image that Kobe had, still was anxious enough after the murder that he left trails of his own blood around the crime scene. Why would Kobe, who has never committed a crime before in his life, be able to rape a girl and then simply relax with a special nightcap feature of 2 Weeks Notice? I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it seems extremely unlikely.

There's a difference between committing a crime and actually being caught for it.

I note Chap doesn't need anyone to speak for him, but I believe he is playing devil's advocate. It's the same thing I was doing earlier in this thread. We are just trying to show that it doesn't really matter what you think you know about Kobe Bryant. We'll have to wait until the trial to get a better idea of the evidence in the case.

There are lots and lots of guys out there who don't even know what rape is. At the college where I work, there's a mandatory sexual-conduct orientation meeting for all new students, where the basic topic is, "No means no." It's clear that a lot of the students already know this, but it's also clear that many of them don't. They aren't trying to be macho, it's just that they honestly, legitimately, really don't get it. If you talk to them a little bit afterward, it becomes even more clear.
In other words, it's entirely possible to rape someone and not know it. Maybe that's what Bryant did.

This is reminscent of Phil Taylor's comment, "If Bryant did do what his accuser says he did, it was probably because he thought she was one of the women who wanted him but didn't know it yet."Originally posted by elindholm
