Speaking of guilt, Kobe is innocent until PROVEN guilty.

 

I agree. I didn't mean to imply that I thought Kobe was guilty. I said court

 

was the place to determine guilt because innocence is assumed. You don't

 

need to go to court to establish it. It is up to the state, or the Crown, to

 

prove your guilt.

 

I don't know if your comment was prompted by mine or not, but I thought

 

I should clarify my words anyway.

I just thought I would point that out. Sometimes in America in today's age, some here forget that this is the rule of law, not the other way around. Thanks for the clarafication though Bart. The only court that doesn't have this burden here in the States is the Internal Revenue Service. There you have to prove your innocence.

Who's Kobe Bryant?

[monkeygirl]

He's an American basketball player that was charged with raping a 19-year-old girl. At this point (my info may be slightly outdated since the only way I keep track of the news is by accidentally overhearing it) there is no hard evidence, just the testimony of the girl's friend who said she saw the girl afterwards and her clothes were ripped or something like that.

Hes not just any basketball player,hes awesome on the court. He came out of high school. Hes really really good and hes only 24 and has three straight championships until last year we his team the Lakers got eliminated.

and, one of the larger things that no one seems to have mentioned, before this whole thing he was a "straight arrow". he didn't do drugs, he didn't get into fights, people everywhere sponsored him.

[Patrick]

Yes, as well as a great deal of places throughout the world. There are a lot of international players in the NBA.
