Kobe Bryant, Class Act

I hope the payout's greater than the ring Bryant bought his soon-to-be-ex-wife:

Sources told ABC news that Bryant and his accuser have agreed to a settlement for emotional and other injuries she said she sustained in connection with the alleged rape. Sources say the parties are meeting this week to work out the details of the settlement, which could be signed by both parties by the end of the week.

I'm not a huge fan of rape shield laws, but the judge in the criminal case who proved utterly incompetent in enforcing Colorado's law is a disgrace. This woman's name was readily available, thanks to the Keystone Cops out West.
