Denver defense attorney Dan Recht said such revelations would have hurt the
alleged victim in the now-dismissed criminal trial and could come back to
haunt her in the civil lawsuit she has filed against Bryant.
"When a jury hears that somebody has lied about some things, they will have
doubts about what is true and what is not true,"
Recht said. "It would have been devastating for the prosecution."
Flannigan, however, said the letter was not a negative. "It enhanced her
credibility because she came forward on her own," Flannigan said, later
adding, "It wasn't anything that caused us concern."
In block letters, the woman wrote that she originally told Winters that
Bryant "made me stay in the room and wash my face" after the alleged rape.
She later added, "I made the mistake of telling Detective Winters about the
bathroom, but as I continued with my statement, I felt what was done to me
was horrific enough, and that is the only thing I exaggerated. Again, I am
very sorry."
The Eagle woman also said she was not truthful when she said she was late to
work the day of the incident because of car troubles.
"When I called in late to work that day that was the reason I gave my boss
for being late," the letter said. "In all reality, I simply overslept."
The woman said the misrepresentations "have been weighing heavily on my
conscience."
Former Denver prosecutor Craig Silverman said of the revelation: "Any lie is
bad. More than one lie is worse, and it's never good for a witness to
apologize for a mix-up."
But Flannigan said the misrepresentations were on issues that "weren't
really that significant anyway."

Uh-huh. Sure it was.

They would have come to light if the police had done their
job and secured the bathroom as part of a crime scene.
Then, Mackey would have hammered home at trial how
unlikely it was for her to be "locked in" to a bathroom
with a working phone.
The realisation of which (the working phone in the bathroom)
most likely made her change her story.

"And, like, they told me later, like, that if I'd been in the bathroom
washing my face and stuff I, like, could have called the police on the
phone in the bathroom, ya know. But I didn't make a call, so like
they'll think I wasn't being raped, right? So they told me I should
like say that I hadn't actually been in the bathroom and all. So that's
why I, you know, changed my story. When do I get my money? This is
getting like rilly, rilly boring."

Yeah.
Lying is not that significant in a case relying on he said she said
anyway.
Before that there were "very little" exculpatory evidence that prove
that Kobe is innocent.
All that is very little and doesn't matter.
Only the word of an unstable, suicidal, promiscuous, money/attention
seeking skank is all that matters.

I never said you NEED a nose job. I just said it wouldn't hurt to
consider it.
