Lithwick on the Bryant Trial’s Aftermath
Dahlia Lithwick of Slate offers an insightful analysis of the outcome of the Kobe Bryant rape trial: Hall of blame.
Here’s just a little teaser:
Was it all District Judge Terry Ruckriegle’s fault, then, for allowing his staff to leak — on four separate occasions — humiliating details as well as the name of an accuser who had already endured a year of abuse and death threats? No. His was a tiny little courthouse, staffed by honest guppies and bunnies, overmatched by the wolves of cable television.
If I ever have the bad fortune to be put on trial, may it please be in a courtroom staffed by honest guppies and bunnies.
