The attorney for the woman accusing Kobe Bryant of rape urged the judge Monday to stop posting court filings and other case details on the Web, saying it has put his client in danger. The practice has prompted the 20-year-old woman at least twice to consider ending her participation in the case, “when somebody who was sworn to protect her made mistakes,” attorney John Clune said. District Judge Terry Ruckriegle did not rule on Clune’s request to stop using electronic media to distribute information in the case. The arguments came during the first of three hearings scheduled before the Los Angeles Lakers star’s trial begins Aug. 27. More : nbcsports.msnbc.com |
