Kobe Bryant may be a selfish teamate for running Shaquille O'Neil out of town. He may be a bad husband for cheating on his wife. But, based on the limited information presented to the public via the media, he doesn't seem to be a rapist. Tacitly admitting that they couldn't prove this charge, the prosecution in Eagle, Colorado dropped the case. A number of alleged and proven developments made the successful prosecution of Bryant increasingly unlikely. The accuser seemed reluctant to testify. The defense suggested she had sex with another man between the alleged rape and her medical evaluation. They further painted her as an unstable character prone to wild changes in mood. She also pursued a lucrative civil case. Given that the case amounted to a "he said, she said" matter, these added factors militated against the prosecution. Case closed: Kobe is no OJ.

Dan,

I was on the road and very busy last week and didn’t give the concoction of a snippet for your contest much thought. But how about this:

If you can’t handle the Flynnfiles, you can’t handle the truth.

Or vise versa…..

If you can’t handle the truth, you can’t handle the Flynnfiles.
