Accuser admits to seeking attention from ex-boyfriend



"s_knight8"

The woman who has accused Kobe Bryant of sexual assault attempted suicide
twice to win the attention of an ex-boyfriend, and her charge against the
athlete is part of the same pattern of behavior, Bryant's lawyers claim.
Mackey's motion reveals for the first time that Bryant's alleged victim
participated in a follow-up interview with Eagle County Sheriff's Detective
Doug Winters July 9 - eight days after she initially reported her June 30
encounter with Bryant.
In that July 9 interview, according to Mackey's motion, "Detective Winters
suggested that there was a pattern to the accuser's behavior in that when
she 'attempts or thinks about committing suicide, she would call' her
ex-boyfriend. The accuser apparently agreed with the detective."
Mackey's motion adds, "The pattern of attention-seeking conduct established
by the accuser during the suicide attempts is substantially similar to her
conduct of June 30," the date of the Los Angeles Lakers star's alleged
assault on the 19-year-old woman.
Evidence concerning those overdose incidents should be admitted at trial,
Mackey argues, because such acts demonstrate the young woman's "motive" and
"scheme" for falsely accusing Mr. Bryant of sexual assault.
"Proof that the accuser makes herself a victim through purported suicide
attempts in order to gain the attention of her ex-boyfriend without regard
to the harm and worry that causes to other people is essential to the
defense's theory" of the case, Mackey's motion argues.
The defense motion concerning the accuser's mental health history appeared
the same day prosecutors filed a motion asking that Bryant's lawyers be made
to comply with Colorado law in any potential efforts to present evidence of
false sexual assault reports by Bryant's accuser.
There is nothing in either the open or sealed portions of the Bryant case
file that spells out a defense plan to do so. But Denver criminal defense
attorney Craig Skinner said the defense bid to include evidence of her drug
overdoses sets the stage for exactly that eventuality.
"They are basically saying she has a pattern of false reporting, and false
reporting doesn't just mean to the police, but also to her boyfriend," said
Skinner.
"They're letting you know that part of their defense is that she has a habit
of making false reports, whether it concerns suicide or rape, to get the
attention of her boyfriend - without regard to whom she steamrolls."
In other new motions, the defense is asking for an evidentiary hearing to
discuss the admissibility of the accuser's sexual conduct "prior and
subsequent" to the night she met Bryant.
Another new Bryant defense motion also seeks to strike down the state's rape
shield statute as an unconstitutional limit on the athlete's ability to
defend himself.

On Fox News Channel, they reported that she is being
treated for schizofrenia. As schizofrenia can be defined
as an inability to differentiate between reality and fantasy,
I think the prosecution have their work cut out for them.

I thought they said she was taking a drug used to treat schizofrenia. Big
difference there. Simply because one is taking a certain medication,
doesn't mean that medication *is* being used to treat schizofrenia in this
particular case. The same medications are being prescribed to treat any
number of different conditions.

good luck. as i recall the CO supreme court has already upheld the
rape shield statute. basically in that case the alleged victim had
been shown to have previously filed a false rape claim. but that was
inadmissible under the shield statute...which personally i find odd -
i mean, if a jury is charged with determining whether a boy cried wolf
or really saw a wolf, shouldn't that jury be told whether or not that
boy had previously cried wolf?
i expect kobe's alleged victim's prior history will be excluded from
this case...and the defense knows it, which is why it is getting this
all out over the airwaves - got to get the info to the jury now since
it will not be admitted in court....

Prior criminal history isn't allowed to be introduced either. If a man had
raped before, had a history of rape, shouldn't that knowledge also be
introduced?
Many things aren't allowed in at trial.

Crying wolf evidence is obviously relevant so if the argument is purely on
those grounds, one cannot explain why rape shield laws exist. Rape shield
laws do exclude relevant evidence. Similarly, hearsay and other evidentiary
rules as well as the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendment result in the exclusion
of relevant evidence. The question is whether such exclusions are justified
by other policy.
Anyone might disagree with the reasonableness of one or more of those
exclusions, but the reasoning behind them is generally not that hard to
comprehend.
If the court denies the defense motion to overturn the rape shield laws,
the decision won't be heard by an appellate court until after Bryant's
trial. I think Bryant's team is simply preserving a constitutional
issue in case of an appeal.

I think that kind of evidence is usually allowed in sex offense crimes.

hm. well as for rape shield vs. hearsay...if it is a FACT that the
person falsely accused someone in the past, that is different that
someone saying they overheard someone else say that the person had
falsely accused.
i.e. i believe relevant FACTS should be admitted unless there is some
sort of overwhelming reason not to admit them. i don't think the
potential embarrassment of the accuser outweighs the potential
incarceration of the accused and thus am against rape shield
laws...normally the sordid details of a case are only ever heard by a
handful of people. in cases like kobe's they are broadcast everywhere
well before trial - making the rape shield law moot except for those
few people who do not have access to mass media or who are capable of
excluding things they've heard from their decision where instructed to
by the judge.

So, to no great surprise, it looks like she was having sex with someone right
after Kobe "raped" her, and that's where the 2nd guy's semen came from that
was found in her panties. Pietrack, the bellhop, is the likely source for that,
as he followed her home. Meaning he isn't going to be very useful as a witness.
RstJ
It also makes it really hard to claim that she was injured by being
raped, or that the alleged injuries show that she's telling the truth.
In fact, the existence of allegations of injuries, combined with @$#*ing
the bellhop on the way home, may show that she was lying.

That would be a victory for everyone indeed. A victory for men, that

individual advantages conferred to individual accusers, the protection
from accountability offered by those laws (anonymity, protection from
many kinds of probes into past sexual or accusational behavior) harms
all women by making us appear to be willfully escaping from our own
accountability. The net effect is to make us appear to be so

such as anonymity.
That is a long way to say "Go, Bryant's defense!".

You think women should be accountable for their sexual history in
a court of law, but that men should not be? I can understand
the case for admitting evidence of past false rape accusations. But
quite frankly, I'd want to see the details of how not having to have
their lifes ripped apart in court to obtain evidence of questionable
relevance makes woman appear to be flighty to anyone other than Bob.
I personally have mixed feelings about rape shield laws because while
I appreciate the policy behind them, I think on the whole they are
unfair to defendants and inconsistent with the constitutional protection
for defendants. But by no stretch do I think rape shield laws demean
women.

I actually take a drug that's intended for schizophrenics, but I'm not
schizophrenic. In extremely low doses it works as a soporific for
insomniac depressives, obsessives or anxiety cases who don't respond well
to other non-narcotic solutions like Trazadone. (I take something like
1/15th of the lowest starting daily dose schizophrenics get.) The one I
take isn't the only one that's used that way, and this type of
prescription is pretty common.
As we've already heard that the woman is clinical depressive, this is
much more likely than her actually being schizophrenic (after all, if she
had *that* on her record, we've have heard that on Fox, not "she's taking
a drug for schizophrenics."). Just because a drug is generally prescribed
for one thing doesn't mean it isn't used otherwise, and absent an actual
diagnosis of schizophrenia, the jury damned well *will* consider that if
the defense tries to raise the mere fact that she's taking this drug. The
prosecution will make sure of it.
Fox's site doesn't give the name of the drug, and apparently the proof
the defense claim is sealed. I do know that Abilify and Seroquel are both
used this way. There are a few others, but I don't know the names. I can
certainly check, and will if the defense claims become more public.

1/15th of the lowest starting daily dose schizophrenics get.) The one I
take isn't the only one that's used that way, and this type of
prescription is pretty common.
This is of course very true. When my son was a child he was
prescribed a very low dose antidepressant for migraine. It worked
although they don't really know how. The dose was too low to act as
an antidepressant but is widely used to treat difficult cases of
migraine.
I find watching the case from afar interesting (in small doses). If
the thinking of the jury is the same as the thinking that abounds on
usenet then it doesn't say very much for justice. Scary stuff!

As we've already heard that the woman is clinical depressive, this is
much more likely than her actually being schizophrenic (after all, if she
had *that* on her record, we've have heard that on Fox, not "she's taking
a drug for schizophrenics."). Just because a drug is generally prescribed
for one thing doesn't mean it isn't used otherwise, and absent an actual
diagnosis of schizophrenia, the jury damned well *will* consider that if
the defense tries to raise the mere fact that she's taking this drug. The
prosecution will make sure of it.
Fox's site doesn't give the name of the drug, and apparently the proof
the defense claim is sealed. I do know that Abilify and Seroquel are both
used this way. There are a few others, but I don't know the names. I can
certainly check, and will if the defense claims become more public.

That would be a victory for everyone indeed. A victory for men, that
is obvious. But a victory for women too. Despite the short term
individual advantages conferred to individual accusers, the protection
from accountability offered by those laws (anonymity, protection from
many kinds of probes into past sexual or accusational behavior) harms
all women by making us appear to be willfully escaping from our own
accountability. The net effect is to make us appear to be so
unreliable, emotional and flighty as to need special protections not
afforded to men- the exact group that is most in need of protections
such as anonymity.
The reason that women have such a reputation is... shhh... don't tell
any one....but.... MOST WOMEN ARE
I've lost track of the number of times I've heard women say "*I* shouldn't
be judged by my past"...as if somehow, before that day, all of their previous
actions were solely the result of an alien posession of their bodies.
In fact, why did "rape shield" laws ever come about???
Because...feminists WHINED about how it was so UNFAIR that they could not
escape accountability for their prior behavior.
Women will not be respected as responsible adults until women start
BEHAVING as responsible adults.
70 years after whining about voting rights, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find a
female under the age of 50 who is nominally informed about most current
events that effect voting decisions. Oh, they know the propaganda being
trotted out by the Demo-crook party...but the actual SPECIFICS of any
issue....aaaaaaah, they can't be bothered with that....Reading section A
of the newspaper won't get them a chance to sponge off a guy for dinner
tonight.
That is a long way to say "Go, Bryant's defense!".

In other new motions, the defense is asking for an evidentiary hearing
to
discuss the admissibility of the accuser's sexual conduct "prior and
subsequent" to the night she met Bryant.
Another new Bryant defense motion also seeks to strike down the state's
rape

Prior criminal history isn't allowed to be introduced either. If a man had
raped before, had a history of rape, shouldn't that knowledge also be
introduced?
Many things aren't allowed in at trial.

Go, Bryant's defense!
You think women should be accountable for their sexual history in
a court of law, but that men should not be? I can understand
the case for admitting evidence of past false rape accusations. But
quite frankly, I'd want to see the details of how not having to have
their lifes ripped apart in court to obtain evidence of questionable
relevance makes woman appear to be flighty to anyone other than Bob.
I personally have mixed feelings about rape shield laws because while
I appreciate the policy behind them, I think on the whole they are
unfair to defendants and inconsistent with the constitutional protection
for defendants. But by no stretch do I think rape shield laws demean
women.
Those are two sides of the same coin. It harms both sexes to create
laws that deprive the side most in need on anonymity (the accused men)
while protecting the side that needs it less (women). When we make
laws that are "inconsistent with the constitutional protection" of
defendents, we are announcing that one side must be provided with such
protections and the other need not be. I know that this sort of thing
demeans women because I get to see how it plays out in real life- both
as a woman who senses directly the mentality surrounding this legal
need to be given special protections not granted to men, as well as as
a witness who has been called in to testify regarding some of these
cases. Men don't get to see this side of things for the most part,
except for the few who are =unlucky enough to get dragged into the FA

As you are probably aware, rape shield laws are gender neutral. The
reason for the lack of equality in treatment is that women generally
don't rape men and are seldom accused of doing so therefore they
seldom end up on the barrel end of the rape shield laws.

We don't know whether it was consensual or not. That's not even

Such as they are...
Unless the injuries are used by the prosecution to show that the
sex was non-consensual. If the "injuries" were caused consensually
by another party, before or _after_ the incident, the prosecution
shouldn't be able to present them as proof of guilt.
If the defense argues that the injuries resulted from consensual
sex, it doesn't matter who caused them. The injuries would then not
even be relevant. They are of course free to offer alternative
theories to the court. Most of the one's I can come up with seem
very risky.
We don't know whether it was consensual or not. That's not even
in issue. For all we know, the accuser was raped by the previous
person she had sex with, and is pointing the finger at Kobe to
get sympathy from a third (fourth?) party.
If they want to argue that to the judge, then maybe an appellate court
would find the accuser's sexual history to be relevant. But the appellate
courts are not going to entertain arguments that are not made at trial.
Again, I'm not suggesting that the accuser's sexual history is
per se irrelevant. I'm suggesting that the defense is unlikely to put
forth any theory in court under which the CO Supreme Court would find
it to be relevant.
But don't take my word for it. Read what the court said about the
issue.
That
evidence is simply not relevant to the issue of whether Kobe raped her.
Further, it's exactly the type of evidence the rape shield law disallows.
Last time I checked, the defense doesn't have to do anything, and are free
to refute the prosecution's claims. They should have every opportunity to
do so.
The defense doesn't have to do anything, but they WANT to do something.
Their refutation has to make logical sense or the court is going to
rule that their evidence is irrelevant. Since the rules of evidence say
that the defense cannot introduce the accuser's sexual history unless it is
highly relevant, Kobe's defense team is going to be tasked with
coming up with an explanation on why it is relevant or the judge is
simply going to keep the evidence out.
Now if you want to argue that it shouldn't be that way, I have no
issue with that. I'm merely suggesting that things aren't as you
think the should be.

medications. IIRC nearly one half of scripts filled are for some

mood altering drug. Take a look around you, you have no idea what
medications people are taking. With the stress in everyday life
today, I
had an equal amount of male, corporate types, refilling their
scripts as
females.
And we all KNOW how people who are "under stress" to the degree of
needing
medication for it are the epitome of truth when it comes to telling
about
the events in their life.

It is perfectly right that no previous record should be considered.
It is important that only the facts as are presented are considered.
It may be that the police were biased when they arrested the person
and it needs people who can look at the facts of the single case in

Yes, perhaps that is true, and you certainly understand the distinction.
However I believe it's naive to think that Joe and JoAnne Average
out there understand it, or could come to understand it during jury

For the

add up to the same thing: she's a little whacked in the head, so
much so that she needs serious medicine.
It doesn't add up to the same thing at all.
Ann, you're not reading carefully enough. You and I know that
schizophrenia is a substantially different clinical classification
from depression; but I'm fairly certain that many many people out
there in the pool of potential jurors would not.
Of course if it were true
that depression was the same they would have no reason to lie about it
and imply that she is psychotic. I think that some of the jury will
know the difference and hopefully educate the others.
I have no idea if the woman is lying or not but either way the
evidence presented should be truthful.
I agree, but if that evidence includes the fact that she has been
prescribed anti-psychotic or anti-schizophrenic drugs, that in
and of itself is going to have a profound effect, *even if* attempts
are made by the prosecution to make it clear that this does not
necessarily mean that the girl *is* psychotic or schizophrenic.
Even if the facts are "dummied down" so that what is stated for
the record is that she's being treated for clinical depression
(with no mention of the specific type of medication), this will
still have the effect of casting doubt on her veracity or stability.

Oh ok, so she's not schizophrenic; she's merely clinically depressed. :-)
Clearly the girl is mentally unstable in some respect.
Yes, perhaps that is true, and you certainly understand the distinction.
However I believe it's naive to think that Joe and JoAnne Average
out there understand it, or could come to understand it during jury
deliberations.
For the
vast majority of folks in the potential jury pool there will be
no distinction to be made between psychotic or schizophrenic or
clinically depressed or bipolar/manic or borderline. It will all
add up to the same thing: she's a little whacked in the head, so
much so that she needs serious medicine.
Ann, you're not reading carefully enough. You and I know that
schizophrenia is a substantially different clinical classification
from depression; but I'm fairly certain that many many people out
there in the pool of potential jurors would not.
Schizophrenia is characterized by a lack of ability to tell reality from
imagination. If the accuser is being treated for schizophrenia she
makes a very poor witness against anyone but herself.
An underlying questions is, "How could the DA rely on such an unreliable
witness"?

Simply because one is taking a certain medication,

particular case. The same medications are being prescribed to

Nope, many of the psychotropic meds are used in combination to treat

Anti-schizophrenia drugs are NOT used to treat depression.
Don't make statements in total ignorance.
Newer atypical psychotics that have replaced older neuroleptics in the
treatment of schizophrenia are also used at lower doses for the
treatment of bi-polar depression, plain depression accompanied or not
with anxiety disorders, and even ADHD.
And the statement that appears over and over in the media is that she
"was taking a drug to treat schizophrenia" -- not that she "was taking
a drug that's normally used to treat schizophrenia". The sentence as
written parses as "she was taking a drug, and the reason she was
taking it was to treat schizophrenia".
I've also seen it reported differently. See for instance :
http://asia.news.yahoo.com/031216/afp/031216205730people.html
"Mackey also asked the judge in the celebrity trial to admit evidence
claiming the accuser tried to commit suicide twice this year in order
to win attention from her boyfriend, and that she was prescribed a drug
used to treat schizophrenia."

If you're going to parse, it'd probably be wise to leave in the part
of the sentence that says "Defense lawyer Pamela Mackey has asserted."
Whoever the statement belongs to, its meaning is the same. It refers
to being treated for schizophrenia, not to being treated for depression
using inappropriate medications.

Actually, it's not. There's a huge difference between "the media" saying
she was taking a drug to treat schizophrenia and the media saying
Pamela Mackey says she was taking a drug to treat schizophrenia.
(For the record, The Associated Press worded it thusly: "[Defense] attorneys
submitted what they called proof the woman took schizophrenia medication."

Yes the defense has a right to refute the prosecution's claims. If
they want to used the accuser's sexual history to do so, they are going
to have to have a coherent theory of why that history is relevent before
they can get the evidence introduced. I'm suggesting that the defense

depression. It's done quite often, not at all unusual.
Oh ok, so she's not schizophrenic; she's merely clinically depressed.
:-)
Clearly the girl is mentally unstable in some respect.
Schizophrenia is classed as a phsychosis and depression is not and
there's a world of difference between someone being psychotic and
depressed. Whether depression makes somebody mentally unstable in the
way that people generally think of the term is doubtful.
Yes, perhaps that is true, and you certainly understand the distinction.
However I believe it's naive to think that Joe and JoAnne Average
out there understand it, or could come to understand it during jury
deliberations.
I think you are being a bit naive in your thinking here. The number of
people being treated with mood altering drugs is much higher than one would
expect. Chances are many jurors will either have taken medication at some
point in time themselves, or have a close family member/friend who does.
Anyone who's had any experience with these classifications of medications
knows often times many different drugs or combinations of drugs are tried
before one or more are found to work properly on any given individual.
td
For the
vast majority of folks in the potential jury pool there will be
no distinction to be made between psychotic or schizophrenic or
clinically depressed or bipolar/manic or borderline. It will all
add up to the same thing: she's a little whacked in the head, so
much so that she needs serious medicine.
Ann, you're not reading carefully enough. You and I know that
schizophrenia is a substantially different clinical classification
from depression; but I'm fairly certain that many many people out
there in the pool of potential jurors would not.
I agree, but if that evidence includes the fact that she has been
prescribed anti-psychotic or anti-schizophrenic drugs, that in
and of itself is going to have a profound effect, *even if* attempts
are made by the prosecution to make it clear that this does not
necessarily mean that the girl *is* psychotic or schizophrenic.
Even if the facts are "dummied down" so that what is stated for
the record is that she's being treated for clinical depression
(with no mention of the specific type of medication), this will
still have the effect of casting doubt on her veracity or stability.

td
The drugs most commonly used to treat schizophrenia are
antipsychotics.
Indeed, antipsychotic drugs are sometimes used in combination to treat
simple (monopolar) depression. However, they are perhaps more commonly
used for bipolar disorder. Also, some psychiatrists will on
occasionally use antipsychotics for the treatment of personality
disorders, such as borderline personality disorder or schizotypal
personality disorder.
People with depression can become psychotic if the depression becomes
very severe. Psychosis is even more common in individuals with bipolar
disorder than in simple (monopolar) depression. In these cases, the
psychosis is usually consistent with the individual's mood; i.e. a
patient with simple (monopolar) depression or bipolar disorder in a
stage of depressed mood may have a psychosis regarding having cancer
(when they do not), whereas a bipolar person in a stage of having
elevated mood (mania) may have a psychosis related to being ruler of
the world (when they are not).
But antipsychotics are in some circumstances used to treat other
disorders such as borderline personality disorder or schizotypal
personality disorder as well.

I heard somebody suggest a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. What was
this based upon?
Regarding bipolar disorder from emedicine.com:
"Manic episode: Approximately three fourths of patients in the manic
phase have delusions. As in major depression, the delusional content
is either consistent or inconsistent with the mania. Manic delusions
reflect perceptions of power, prestige, position, self-worth, and
glory."
But antipsychotics are in some circumstances used to treat other
disorders such as borderline personality disorder or schizotypal
personality disorder as well.

Anti-schizophrenia drugs are NOT used to treat depression.
Don't make statements in total ignorance.
Bull#@($ mikey.
And the statement that appears over and over in the media is that she
"was taking a drug to treat schizophrenia" -- not that she "was taking
a drug that's normally used to treat schizophrenia". The sentence as
written parses as "she was taking a drug, and the reason she was
taking it was to treat schizophrenia".
Given out by the defense mikey. And you buy that bull#@($ hook, line and
sinker. Drugs used to treat schizophrenia are often used in combination
with anti-depressants to treat major depression. Myself, and many others in
various support groups I've belonged to, have been treated with such
medications. It's a common practice. I took mellaril for a year, a drug
that's used to treat schizophrenia. Had the defense given out such
information about me, I'm certain they'd have worded it in the same fashion
as they've done here. After all, they are looking to sway the jury pool,
their interest isn't in giving out correct, factual information. Their
interest is in throwing #@($ against the wall hoping enough will stick.

Newer atypical psychotics that have replaced older neuroleptics in the

treatment of bi-polar depression, plain depression accompanied or not
with anxiety disorders, and even ADHD.
I've also seen it reported differently. See for instance :
http://asia.news.yahoo.com/031216/afp/031216205730people.html
"Mackey also asked the judge in the celebrity trial to admit evidence
claiming the accuser tried to commit suicide twice this year in order
to win attention from her boyfriend, and that she was prescribed a drug
used to treat schizophrenia."

themselves, I wonder how many jurors have sex with their spouses or
significant others numerous times without causing any injuries? I don't
think the average sexually active juror engaging in consensual sex, causes
bleeding and injuries to their partner in the normal course of action.

That would take some research. Certainly there are many pages listed in
the OED for things that are of or like a "cock." A male bird, to raise
an eyebrow, anything that rises or struts in a manly manner. Many of
these words come from very old analogies. It would be surprising,
despite censorship by "proper" lexicographers, if "cunt" hasn't had a
similar array of analogous meanings for a very long time.

I heard somebody suggest a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. What was
this based upon?
Wishful thinking on the part of the 'pro kobe' gang.
Actually, that came from her ex-boyfriend, from his
Katy Couric interview.

Is her ex-boyfriend a psychiatrist? The last time I heard, ex-boyfriends
don't usually diagnose illnesses. The question was ' a diagnosis of bipolar
disorder'. So far I haven't heard nor read of any medical professional
diagnosing bipolar disorder, have you? Someone who's actually seen and
treated the alleged victim I mean, not a 'rent a shrink' on TV.

Schizophrenia is classed as a phsychosis and depression is not and
there's a world of difference between someone being psychotic and
depressed. Whether depression makes somebody mentally unstable in the
way that people generally think of the term is doubtful.
People with depression can become psychotic if the depression becomes
very severe. Psychosis is even more common in individuals with bipolar
disorder than in simple (monopolar) depression. In these cases, the
psychosis is usually consistent with the individual's mood
Gee, I wonder what Katelyn's mood was when she was showing
Kobe her tattoos. And showing him off to her boyfriend beforehand
(shy indeed).

As you are probably aware, rape shield laws are gender neutral. The
reason for the lack of equality in treatment is that women generally
don't rape men and are seldom accused of doing so therefore they
seldom end up on the barrel end of the rape shield laws.
I don't think this point really adds much to the debate, since it is
widely understood. It also doesn't affect the practical issues we are
discussing.

Then you've missed the point. When laws treat groups of people unequally, it
isn't necessarily the law that's wrong. So arguing that one side gets more
protection from the law doesn't really prove anything.

I disagree. Laws should apply to everyone..no special perks or laws
favoring one gender or one race. Its called equal rights.
I would love to see an ERA passed but feminist hate the idea.

Guess what, the 13th Amendment protects everyone (as usual - which
is why African Americans as a population are still poor to a disparate
degree). Notice how it also bans bonded labor, which is the condition
under which many Europeans were brought to the Americas to begin
with. Or the bondage type situations many Native Americans lived
under in, say, California.
To quote:
Amendment XIII
(1865)
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States,
or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Perhaps you also object to the 14th Amendment:
Amendment XIV
(1868)
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state
wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
