I promised myself to never post on the Kobe Bryant sexual assualt case. That was before the case has turned into an international soap opera. The Swiss contribution is as follows:
A Swiss body-building coach was charged with offering to kill the woman who accused US basketball superstar Kobe Bryant of rape, prosecutors said.
This kind of insanity is really not that surprising. It is fully expected to continue until the trial and its subsequent appeals are over. What is surprising is the lack of neutrality on the part of the Swiss.
Patrick Graber, 31, was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday after allegedly claiming to be a Russian mobster willing to kill the Colorado teenager for $US3 million ($A4.44 million) on Bryant's behalf.
