I see tons of talk on this board all the time about soccer but very little about basketball.....not that that means anything.
Just because someone is depressive and suicidal with a history of mental illness doesn't mean that they can't be raped. If anything, they would tend be a little more likely to end up in a situation where they would be taken adavantage of and then they themselves blamed for the incident. Of course, it doesn't mean that they are beyond pulling some scam either.
It is not uncommon for someone to excell at their career and play by one set of rules, ethics and morals and practice another set in their social relationships, especially with the opposite sex. I've personally known a few of these types myself. I'm not saying that Kobe is like that. I wouldn't know. I don't know the man or anything about him but I do know that some people do split like that at times and it can be very well hidden. It's really not all that uncommon. You know, the perfect gentleman at work and the wife beater at home sort is just one example of this type.
With all that said, I have no clue what really happened and would prefer to refrain from making a judgement based on my little bit of knowledge of what the truth is in this case. I only hope that the outcome reflects the truth and not just which set of lawyers played the best game.
