...Mahathir Mohamad, who retired last year, Anwar maintained that he was being persecuted for having crossed his former boss.

...DISMISSED. Sexual assault charge against KOBE BRYANT, 26, National Basketball Association superstar; after his accuser ceased to cooperate with prosecutors; in Eagle, Colorado. The Los Angeles Lakers guard was charged with raping a 19-year-old desk clerk during a hotel stay last year. The case against him was weakened by the woman's admission that she willingly flirted with and kissed Bryant, and an unproven defense allegation that she had sex with someone else after leaving his room. Bryant released a statement in which he apologized to the woman, saying: "Although I truly believe this encounter between...

FILED. A civil lawsuit against NBA star KOBE BRYANT, 25; by the unnamed woman who claims he raped her in a Vail, Colo., hotel room; in Denver. Her suit seeks compensatory damages of at least $75,000 and unspecified punitive damages. Prosecutors in Bryant's criminal trial for rape later sought a delay in that trial's Aug. 27 start date, claiming courthouse gaffes have made it impossible to obtain a fair jury. The judge denied the request...
When the transcript of a June 22 closed hearing in the sexual-assault case of Kobe Bryant was inadvertently released, the press had the expected field day. In the document, defense expert Dr. Elizabeth Johnson presented evidence that suggested Bryant's accuser may have had sex with another man not long after her encounter with Bryant--raising doubts about whether it was Bryant who caused the former college student's vaginal trauma and lending credence to his assertion that the sex was consensual. Speculation flew that the prosecution's case was collapsing and that the charges would be dropped...
