Oh, it's nice that we start bashing each other No, the January came from two articles which retracted today, one, USA Today, section 2C, eighth paragraph yesterday, and one published online in the NY Times.
As to the note about Kobe having detectives to do dirty work, no, I am not saying that they were behind leaks.. however, I will point out that both the Sacremento Bee and Los Angeles Times pointed out that almost $250,000 would be spent in "opposition research" by his legal team - something that is expected - in order to help discredit the witness. When you have the money to go after the credibility of the accuser, almost any defendent will. But, in the current system, the accused almost never does the same in reverse.
