Kobe Bryant's accuser may not pursue case (moved from ATSNN)

Attny says that "its up in the air" wheater Kobe Bryant accuser will continue to pursue case. Release of documents may spur decision on future of case.


DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- The woman who accused Kobe Bryant of rape will have to discuss with prosecutors whether she will go ahead with the criminal case because she fears the release of court documents about her sex life threatens her chance of getting a fair hearing, one of her lawyers said Wednesday.

John Clune said his 20-year-old client will have to talk to prosecutors soon about that and will also consider whether to file a civil suit against the NBA star.

Asked if his client is considering dropping out of the criminal case, Clune told The Associated Press: "That's something she and prosecutors will have to discuss in the immediate future. The DA's office will have to make that decision on what they want to do."



DNA expert for the defense, Elizabeth Johnson, who says she is convinced the woman had sex with someone after Bryant and before she contacted authorities -- a claim that Clune has vehemently denied.

Johnson based her conclusion on the discovery of another man's sperm on the woman when she underwent a rape exam at a hospital.

Hmmm, seems that by allowing the "sexual history" of this accuser has caused her to change her mind, certainly makes it look like Coby just might be telling the truth.

How many millions do you think this will cost him ?

If she backs down from the criminal prosectuion case and tries to sue, Kobe will win. And hopefully counter for harrassment.
