Sports Illustrated is reporting that the accuser in the Kobe Bryant case may have performed oral sex on the Laker after the incident took place, a detail that she withheld at first from the police. The article, which is generally sympathetic to the prosecution (as a rule, SI has a decidedly anti-accused bias when it comes to cases brought against athletes, and the writer may have a vested interest in a conviction now for sale at your local bookstore), is nevertheless quite revealing in showing how weak the State's case is. If all they can prove is that her blood was on his t-shirt, he's gonna walk.
