http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1872740 The statement, Bryant's attorneys Pamela Mackey and Hal Haddon told ESPN's Jim Gray, was a condition of the woman withdrawing her testimony. "Kobe was facing life in prison for a crime he did not commit," they told Gray. "The accuser insisted on that statement as the price for his freedom. The statement doesn't change the facts: Kobe is innocent and now he is free."

So there was an agreement for her to withdraw her testimony if he made a public apology and gesture of respect for her? How very kind of her.
"Kobe was facing life in prison for a crime he did not commit," they told Gray.
So he apologized for something he didn't do?

Because if she testified, he was going to lose it?

Not too long ago you were sure she was going to win the criminal case. Now there is no criminal case. Doesn't say much about your credibility.

If Katelin and the prosecution thought they had anything close to a winnable case they would have continued the trial instead of pursuing dismissal AFTER their request for an indefinite continuance was denied a few weeks ago. If Katelin and the prosecution had been negotiating from a position of strength we would have seen Kobe plead guilty to some lesser offense. The statement was the only thing Kobe has given into so far. Obviously the defense was holding nearly all of the winning cards.
hahahahahaha $40M later.......
The civil case is worth something but I'm hoping it resolves for little more than nuisance value. I don't see any way Kobe will find it necessary to pay her any exhorbitant amounts to settle the case. From what I've been hearing recentely about the jury pool, she's will still face an uphill battle in Superior Court. Happy for Kobe that the criminal case ended up the way it should have, with the prosecution running with it's tail tucked between it's legs. Pam Mackey rules!!! Greg

So Kobe will lie if/when his freedom is at stake in a criminal matter? Yep, that's what we've been claiming all along, Kobe is not only a criminal adulterer, but a profligate liar. "The accuser insisted on that statement as the price for his freedom. Because if she testified, he was going to lose it? The statement doesn't change the facts: Kobe is innocent and now he is free." hahahahahaha $40M later.......

Care to place any bets as to whether or not Kobe the criminal adulterer and liar Bryant gives her *lots* of nickels or not?

Now, for all the rest of you "innocent" men accused of rape, do not EVER make the statement Kobe made, as it is a public admission that atleast part of what the accuser said is indeed true, and makes said accuser indeed look like a victim. If you're innocent of the charges, fight it. If they can't prove you did it, don't settle, and don't concede anything, not even a handshake. Now, Kobe runs the risk of some stalker-type seeing his statement, believing it is an admission of guilt, and acting on their own ideas of punishment. Be warned, people who get off on a criminal charge do sometimes wind up injured or killed. And they don't even have to be celebrities. If you're innocent, you owe it to yourself, and to others, to fight it, and not buckle. **Kobe** I do not in any way intend that as a personal message. Just saying people who settle or by any other way dismiss their case always run the possible risk of people considering them as guilty even years later. It's a risk I wouldn't take in your shoes.

I didn't see it that way...all he said is perhaps she saw it differently than he did.
If you're innocent of the charges, fight it. If they can't prove you did it, don't settle, and don't concede anything, not even a handshake.
Well...many a man has pled guilty because the alternative might mean life if convicted and sometimes its difficult to prove your innocence even though you are....Proof of this is the fact that innocent men have been found guilty.
Now, Kobe runs the risk of some stalker-type seeing his statement, believing it is an admission of guilt, and acting on their own ideas of punishment.
Well..I think anyone that deranged would not need THIS reason.
Be warned, people who get off on a criminal charge do sometimes wind up injured or killed. And they don't even have to be celebrities. If you're innocent, you owe it to yourself, and to others, to fight it, and not buckle.

Kobe is not only a criminal adulterer, but a profligate liar.
As opposed to the accuser who never told a lie, right? How about the lie of being assaulted and raped, now withdrawing it? How about the lie that she never slept with anyone within 15 hours that were between the alleged assault and the swabs taken from her vagina and body? How about the BIGGEST lie, that she wasn't accusing Kobe for the money, she only wanted justice? How about her own lies about not considering writing a book? How about her own lies accusing someone of raping while she acknowledged that she never said no? How about her own lies accusing someone of raping while she admitted that he stopped when she asked him to? How about her lies claiming that she was very upset and crying when she left the hotel room while her own colleagues at work testified under oath that she never was upset and wrapped up her work like every night before going home? The list is growing and every minute another lie by the accuser was exposed. She wanted to have a less humiliating exit out of the criminal case, since it was obvious that she had no case, and will attempt to take her extortion scam to civil court where the burden of proof is much less.

Usually, when a criminal case is brought to court, the accuser has NO power to cancel it. He/She might withdraw but the case goes forward. Think of the cases of spousal abuse when the woman changes her mind and doesn't want to press charges. Sorry. Too late. What you need to realize is that the ATTORNEYS are the ones who decided the fate of this case. The ATTORNEYS advised their clients what to say and how to say it to end the mess as easily as possible with neither side having to admit anything. It's done every day in every court in the land.

It happens all the time. In a criminal case the parties are the State and the Accused. The "victim" is not a party, just a witness. BUT, when the witness says "I'm not testifying" what are you going to do? Lock her up? THAT'LL make her like you a whole lot. And the judge is NOT going to wait around for her to change her mind. He'll toss the case or issue an order for directed verdict. Either way, the victim/witness can torpedo your case real quick. You dismiss it and move on. In Hurlbert's case, he moves on to private practice since he's going to lose his re-election race.

A hostile witness in a trial of her own making?? Without her, they have no hope at all. The case should never have been brought. The DA should have read the sheriff the riot act for going behind his back, and get the charges dropped until he had reviews all the evidence or was ready to pursue the case. They weren't ready. This case was simply too big for Eagle, right from the beginning. Alex

Bull#@($...their case was lost when the Judge let in that 72 hour window of her sex life and it took another big hit when she filed the civil suit before the criminal trial started...she LOST and lost big time.
