(redacted): Yes he did. I'm not even sure if these are their real names they
gave.
Det. W: And how do you know these names then?
(redacted): They gave it to me over the phone, the travel agent did. Cause,
they had three different rooms.
Det. W: So you had a Joe Carison, Mike Ortiz and a Kobe Bryant. Ok.
(redacted): They actually called him Javier Rodriguez.
Det. W: But they called Mr. Bryant Javier Rodriguez. Ok. And then uh. ok
then what
happened after they arrived and escorted them to ....?
(redacted): To Mr. Bryant's room. Urn, two other gentlemen were looking
around the room and Mr. Bryant asked me, kinda in private if I would come
back in 15 minutes and give him a tour of the hotel. And I said that I
would. And at that point I went back, back down to the front desk got the
keys for the two other rooms that they had reserved and showed the other two
gentlemen to their rooms.
Det. W: Ok. What room was Mr. Bryant escorted to?
(redacted): To 35.
Det. W: Where is that located in the lodge because I'm not very familiar
with the rooms?
(redacted): It's actually the very last room on the first floor. About the
farthest room you could get from the front desk or the lobby area.
Det. W: On the right or left?
(redacted): On the left hand side.
Det. W: Ok. So after you escorted them to Mr. Bryant's room un, you went
back downstairs, or you went back out to the front, to the front lobby or
front desk counter and got the keys to the other two rooms and escorted the
other two gentlemen to their rooms?
(redacted) : Yes.
Det. W: And then Mr. Bryant asked you to come back in about 15 minutes.

you to
show him around, is that what you said?

the front desk, and waited about 5,10 minutes and then actually went the
back way to Mr. Bryant's room.
Det. W: Why did you do that?
(redacted) : Because I, had a feeling that his bodyguards didn't know that I
was going back to Mr. Bryant's room.

(redacted) : Because they wouldn't let anybody really get close to Mr.
Bryant and Mr., he had asked me in person, like in uh, private when no one
else was listening. To have him escorted around the hotel, so I wasn't quite
sure if they knew, so I went went the back way to his room.
Det. W: Um, and how do you know that they weren't, that the other two
weren't letting
people near Mr. Bryant?
(redacted): That's what the bellman had told me cause we were the only two
in contact with Mr. Bryant, last night and they wouldn't let him near at
all.

and go to, we have a little employee cafeteria, you go in through that door,
take another left and that leads you to the second floor and you just take
an elevator down to the first floor. And that avoids going through the lobby

(redacted) : Yes.
Det. W: Ok. And that's the door you escorted him to?
(redacted) : Yes. And there's actually un, a little patio area out front
that if you walked through a yard I guess you could get in that way.
Det W: Through like a sliding glass door?

adjacent to the couch and we were just talking. Nothing was really happening
just chitchat. He asked me if I would go in the
Jacuzzi with him later. At which point I told him that my shift was over and
I was gonna go home, because I was starting to get a little worried about
the situation.

No, she's just trying to clarify whether the girl was bent over the back of
the chair from the FRONT of the chair or from the BACK of the chair.
Would you interrupt a rape victim? And a chair isnt't that
stable an item to bend people over, I would imagine.

Ever tried it? I would venture a guess that it would depend on what kind of
chair it is.
As for interrupting a rape victim....the other interviewers were.

She would also have observed if there was any
damage to the chair, or none at all.
