With Kobe Bryant's sexual assault trial scheduled to begin in less than two
weeks, speculation is mounting that prosecutors are looking for a way to dis-
miss the charge after a series of setbacks.
The NBA star is due in court Monday in Eagle, his final court appearance
before jury selection begins on Aug. 27.
But events of the past two weeks suggest prosecutors might be seeking an
avenue to dismiss the charge with minimal embarrassment, legal experts said.
"We have too many things happening in this case that we just don't normally
have," said Larry Pozner, former president of the National Association of Cri-
minal Defense Lawyers. "The big picture? None of this bodes well for the pro-
secution."
Officials connected with the case are barred from commenting in detail to the
media, but district attorney's spokeswoman Krista Flannigan has said prosecutor
still plan to try Bryant, who acknowledges having sex with the then 19-year-old
hotel employee last summer but insists she consented.
