KOBE: SOME SURPRISING VIEWS FROM BLACK COMMUNITY AND KOBE'S MONEY; HE CAN BREAK THE COUNTY

At least in many letters to the black papers in town many (actually most) writers are not siding with Bryant at all. Many are bringing up the fact of adultery (most of the women writers). Unfortunately most are racist as hell, blasting him for chasing white women, marrying a Hispanic woman, and chasing a white woman before that. Many bring up the OJ case declaring that OJ got away with murder and no white jury will ever let that happen again.

Some are criticizing the coddling of black athletes from grammar school on. The talk radio is still "poor Kobe", and the white media is busy trying to trash the woman. That sports slut Jim Rome is slobbering all over himself trying to make Kobe as innocent as possible. It's the rich white liberals, as usual, that are playing the race card here (he needs blacks on the jury, whites will hang him, the DA is small time and out of his element, etc.).

Now the money: Kobe has more money in his pocket than the entire budget of the country DA's office. The DA has $2 million total budget for the entire department and Bryant makes
$14 million per YEAR with the Lakers plus his $45 million dollar endorsement deal. You can bet that the internet publishing of the accuser's picture yesterday didn't just "happen" and neither did the "revelation" of the lady's drug overdose. Bryant has so much money in fact that the DA is searching other counties as well as his own for more money to try this case. The fact is that Bryant can absolutely overwealm the county and break the DA's office. The way the smart guys see it, if the DA can't get more money the case goes in the toilet. Bryant will just spend and spend and spend and the "reporters" will report what he wants and the case will go in the toilet. Along with the woman.

To those cynics out there who think money always wins? Money always wins.
