DENVER - A judge cleared the way for the release of documents and other
evidence in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case on Wednesday.
The judge made the move as he formally accepted the withdrawal of the NBA
star's request to seal all the court filings. There was no word on when
material would be released.
Workers in the Eagle County Sheriff's Department were poring over the
records, removing the name of the accuser and some information that would be
illegal to make public, such as mental health records.
The district attorney's office, which also holds some of the material, did
not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
The temporary seal expired Tuesday night, and Mackey withdrew the request
for a permanent seal Tuesday, saying that as long as prosecutors released
all documents - not just those harmful to Bryant - she believed the public
should be able to see them to review actions and decisions by prosecutors
and investigators.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert wrote Mackey that he had "no agenda to
discredit you or your client" and that he intended to withhold some
information that could be embarrassing for Bryant, such as evidence about
his sexual history.
