Jeffrey Shapiro's book detailing the many aspects of the Kobe Bryant case is a good source for those interested in following it.

The book has a definite pro-victim stance....and gives an in-depth saga of the young woman (who is called "Lilly Fuller" to protect her identity). Shapiro tells us of the horrors the young woman has faced...from death-threats by crazed Bryant fans to being sold-out by so-called "friends"

Also...Shapiro gives some indication of what Bryant said to police during an interview...and why Bryant's attorneys want to have the statements not admitted during the trial.

This book will offend the die-hard "Kobe is innocent...girl is lying" crowd....but those who feel there is a lot more to this case will discover why the DA in Eagle, Colorado pursued this case.

I wasn't sure what to think when I found out there was a book about the Kobe case before there was a trial, but I was shocked at what the authors were able to come up with. The book talks about what really happened during the police interview in Colorado and takes the reader into the hotel where it all took place. I watched the writer on television and he wouldn't say if he interviewed the so-called victim or not, but he clearly got some interesting information from someone because he tells the story of what really happened in the hotel room. I've been a Lakers fan most of my life and I thought the authors account of Kobe's career was well accounted for. It's not nobel prize winning material, but it's well written and definitely makes for a fast, entertaining read.

This is so much crap put out to get sympathy after yet another crime by a black man. Stop making excuses you phony.
