Kobe Bryant Faces Preliminary Hearing In Colorado Assault Case
A Denver suburb judge set October 9 for Kobe Bryant's preliminary hearing after he waived speedy rights. The five time NBA star, free on 25000 bond, denied assault claims and described a consensual encounter with a 19 year old hotel clerk on June 30. The hearing drew a media circus with hundreds of reporters and TV crews as Bryant arrived by private jet and left for another Colorado town.
