There is a difference between being a fool and believing in the good of people. If you can't see which one I was getting at, I don't care. I don't feel the need to explain.

I thionk you are the most naive person to come down the pike since Elly May Clampett - and she was fictional, so that makes you the champ at naivete. You asked what we thought - there it is. Naive is not necessarily a bad thing at his age. He still has plenty of time to become a jaded, cynical smartass like me. Let him stay naive for a bit longer, let him believe in honesty and decency. Soon enough he will find out that the bridge in brooklyn is not really for sale.

the only good daytime tv i've found is price is right, espnnews, and saved by the bell. the rest is a vast wasteland of crap. also, i dunno if you saw it hsc but i shrunk that picture in the bmr thread for you.

ugh scott peterson. that case makes me angrier than maybe anything in this world.

That definition seems AWFULLY broad. How do they define "wounds"? Is a scratch on the arm considered a "wound"? How about a broken finger? It would seem to me that the "wound" would have to be quite severe, since it's mentioned in the same breath as "maim", "brutally beat", and "endangers the life of the victim". Forensics can usually tell (as far as I know) what bruises, scratches etc were caused by what and approxiamitely when.

Yeah it's entirely possible the word "vacation" was used loosely. I guess we will find out eventually what the deal was.

good god man do you even know what you're saying? rape is not getting verbally assaulted, it's not a flaming bag of s*** on your doorstep, RAPE IS RAPE. you could be the strongest person mentally in the world, but if something like that happens to you you're not exactly gonna walk away with your sanity intact. people who get raped have their head on a swivel for years. they don't know who could be the next potential predator. not only that but they are already in pieces from being attacked and humiliated for being forced to do that. get a clue, jer--

exactly. that's what i didn't find it surprising when steff said 47% of them go unreported. i am no expert, i don't pretend to be, but apparently many victims just want to try and forget it ever happened. that, or they think nobody will believe them, or the perpatrator will try and hurt them again. the only thing that makes me wonder, is considering the severe emotional damage that occurs with rape, how could she go on vacation right after it happened? i'm not saying i don't believe her, because i don't know either way, but that seems a little out of character for a rape victim. but like i said i know very little.

I think she does stand a chance because of where the trial is, the people are gonna be from the same area. It will take a LOT of incriminating events from her past (which, as others say will probably not even be allowed considering the evidence is what matters here) to convince them that Kobe was the one in the wrong place at the wrong time.

zah

that car was the s***

no, at least not with me. it has nothing to do with the cubs having it, it just looks like crap.

You are missing something. They are going to do the same thing they did in the OJ case. Pick apart everything, bring up race, whatever it takes. Her OD is GOING to be part of this. Im sorry to say, its not going to be fair, and Kobe is likely to get off , just as OJ did. The OD is going to help set Kobe free. No, I'm not missing anything. I know what they're gonna try to do, but if that is all they have it's not gonna work. Kobe's not on his home turf, the hometown jury is not going to give him the benefit of the doubt. They're gonna believe her before they believe him, but the evidence carries more weight than what either of them say.

Yeah I doubt there is anyway they'd testify against her as a character witness in the first place. They might grill her about it the overdose etc, then it could get ugly. But since it was two months earlier, it might be up to the judge how relevant that is. Either way I don't think that is going to decide the case. The main issue is whether or not the rape took place, and it'll be up to the prosecution to provide the evidence. No lack of credibility can change that.

It may or may not be admissable in court, but since they haven't begun jury selection or anything the public (especially in the area) already knows about it. The judge will tell them to disregard any prior knowledge, but bias on both sides will come into play when deciding this case.

yeah

haha that picture of crede on the scoreboard, i remember laughing at that at the game every time it came up.

Only when done by the Atlanta Braves fans who ripped it off when Deion played for them. If you want nauseating, look no further than the Florida Gator fans and their stupid "hand chomping".

it looks like they didnt put there on purpose, but rather it just started growing on its own. it hangs all over the place, it reminds me of the ripley from dreamcatcher, only green.

ugh i know, get rid of it sox. it looks like s***.

gratuitous rhyme is a serious crime

if they do it won't be because of scottie pippen.

only took 7 posts for this thread to take a nosedive (as if it ever got off the ground). new record?
