Another chum — Kevin in Lubbock — sent along the most recent Rick Reilly column in Sports Illustrated: "All or Nothing for Kobe." Bryant unwittingly got involved in a sex offense case in the state (CO) where the sex-offense statutes are the harshest in the USA. In the words of a Denver trial attorney: There's no worse place to commit a sex crime. If Bryant is convicted, his life will become a living hell. There is no country club prison (as the rightwing is wont to proclaim) for sex offenders in Colorado. As Rick Reilly concludes, "If [I were Kobe]..., I'd stop buying $4 million diamond rings and start buying more $4 million lawyers."
I wonder if Kobe Bryant will be available to keynote the fund raiser for the youth basketball program in Amarillo? We're on a roll here. First, Pete Rose, then Kobe Bryant. If this be (fair & balanced) treason, make the most of it.
The latest Reilly column has not been posted to the SI site.
