Kobe Central
The mud slinging continued in Colorado as more information surfaced that could affect the trajectory of the Kobe Bryant rape trial -- at least in the media. According to the AP in a story that moved on the wires last night:
The scrutiny of Kobe Bryant's accuser intensified Thursday when authorities confirmed she was hospitalized as a "danger to herself" four months before the alleged sexual assault.
University of Northern Colorado police chief Terry Urista said campus police received a call about 9 p.m. on Feb. 25 regarding the woman in a dormitory room.
"An officer determined she was a danger to herself," he said. "It's classified as a mental health issue."
The source of the latest revelation was the campus police at the University of Northern Colorado, where the alleged victim currently attends college. More details to follow throughout the day.
UPDATE: Vince Carter will replace Bryant on the U.S. Olympic Qualifying Team that will play at the Tournament of the Americas later this Summer. It had already been announced previously that Bryant wouldn't be able to play due to offseason surgery.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Here's the story on the gag order the judge has issued in the Bryant case. In addition, Eagle County District Attorney Mark Hurlbert responded to a request by the LA Times and other media outlets to unseal the documents related to the case.
