Charges were dropped.

I would expect better from a defense attorney.

Read his statements following the multi-million dollar settlement. He admitted that it wasn’t consensual.

The letter he wrote was "negotiated" as part of the settlement. He didn't admit that it wasn't consensual, he said that he felt it was consensual, but recognized that she didn't think it was consensual.

And what multi-million dollar settlement? You have a link providing the monetary amount, if any?

Actually, his exact words in the statement were "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did."

Sounds more like an "agree to disagree" to me.

No matter what he did in the past its still a terrible situation. He has a family that has to deal with this and children that lost a father. They say these celebrity deaths happen in 3's yesterday we lost Forest Wood so wonder who's next?

He served no jail time. It was in the middle of his career while he was in Atlanta for a super bowl.

So if a guy says it is consensual and the female says it isn’t, it isn’t rape. Gotcha.

Yeah at least with an airplane and loss of power, theres some amount of glide possible.....with a helicopter you're just dropping like a rock.

On trips to the mountains over the years, my family has brought up doing a helicopter tour, more than 1x.

I'm with you.

Ain't no way I'm getting in one of them.

You hear about too many of those jokers falling out of the sky.

Prayers for the man's family.

I just read that it was foggy and appears the chopper went into a mountain side. This is a sad situation either way but surely he had enough money to hire an experienced pilot.

I just read where LA County SO confirms his death but said his wife and children were not on board.

Went back and re-read It said the reports were initial ".His wife Vanessa, and three daughters, were not on board, initial reports indicate."

Now they are confirming his 13 YO daughter was on board.

All of y’all that are so quick to spit on a dead mans grave just remember that all sin is equal in the eye of the beholder. Hope you removed that plank from your eye before you went pointing out others issues.

Too early to know for sure I guess but there are reports that his daughter, Gianna, was on board.

Other reports say none of his children were on board.

Not sure what to believe just yet.

Not entirely true. You can go into an autorotation and execute a run on landing if you’re lucky

I am a professional helicopter pilot and instructor pilot at Ft. Rucker. Helicopters are actually very safe and do not crash as often as people think. Look into the number of fatal small airplane crashes vs helicopter crashes. Most accidents involve human error, it doesn’t matter how safe the aircraft if the pilot has a lapse in judgement or gets in over their head often they and other people pay the price.

It is absolutely sad that this has happened and I pray for his family especially if his daughter was onboard.

3. Taxation Is Theft

Don’t you think it’s odd that it’s an S-76? Those are reliable aircraft. If you would have told me a Robinson I wouldn’t be shocked but to hear it was an S-76 leads me to believe that something extraordinary happened

I’m not using it to defend what Kobe did, I’m using it to state Christ’s position on folks piling on someone while ignoring their own sin. In other words their efforts would be more wisely spent fixing their own issues than criticism of others.

I’m not saying he was a horrible person. I’m sure he was a good father. But, I have always found it interesting that when someone dies, they become a saint.

I don’t reckon I’ve seen anyone claim he was a saint.... big difference in just offering condolences without calling him a rapist and calling him a saint

Well, he gone. Hate that his daughter also died. Wonder who the other 3 are. Prayers for his family.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I remember being fascinated as a kid about all manner of flying machines and auto-rotation of helicopters always intrigued me. But when it's foggy and a mountain shows up 50 feet ahead, planes, trains and automobiles gonna crash. And helicopters.

I guess what breaks my heart about the whole situation is that a man had a few seconds in which he knew he and his daughter were likely about to die. That’s rough right there.

Kobe was one of the 2 best basketball players, to me, that I ever watched. He had the attitude of a flat out assassin on the court.

I’m 32 years old and to this day if I’m throwing a ball of paper or used water bottle into the trash, I may or may not incorporate a spin move/fade away with the phrase “Kobe” as I shoot.

Prayers out to his family.

RIP Mamba.

All I hear on news. There were 5 other people also killed why nothing on them. They said he was hero, why? for playing basket ball. The rest of the folks killed are nothing because they didn't play basketball.

I hadn’t heard it was an S-76. Those are really good helicopters and most are instrumented for instrument flight. Someone mentioned earlier that it was possibly foggy, they could have gone IIMC and/ or gotten SD. That combination of inadvertent followed by spatial-d has killed a lot of people. It is pure speculation at this point on my part but I wouldn’t rule that out. I am guessing by your handle you know a thing or two about helicopters, so you know as much as I do that mechanical failure is very rare.

I have a son that is currently a Night Stalker and know what it means. Thank you for your service.

Never watched him play. I hope his celebrity doesn’t overshadow those others who lost their life. IMO, the two young girls death is most traumatic.

If you are rich enough, you don't have to follow the same rules.

Tragic that his 13 year old daughter and the other people died, but he is no great loss. Just another POS sex criminal. I hope he gets put in the pit with Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and has to service them for the next 100 years.

I don't know if he was a sex offender or not, It is a sad situation and I feel for all that perished and their families. I don't understad why so many people are so upset and flocking to the staples center. He was a great basketball player but to many people idolize atheletes way more than they should.

None of these asshat POS news reporters give 30 seconds reporting to the death of an American soldier protecting our way of life.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Not that my opinion matters, but I'm inclined to think the rape allegations were BS. Too many of these women see the $ signs associated with an athlete and in today's culture, a large portion of the population thinks the woman should be believed no matter what.


There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

I don't know whether he was guilty of the rape allegations or not. At this point, it really does not matter.

What I do know is that no matter whether you are an athlete, a celebrity, a rich man or a pauper, when times like these happen all of that stuff no longer matters. Take away all of that stuff and we are all the same.

His wife, his remaining children, the families of the other 7 victims, all of them are hurting people right now.

It is our duty as Christians to pray that God will comfort them and to help them through such a tragedy.

As for his alleged "sins", God Almighty will be the final judge of that. Not man.

It is absolutely sad that this has happened and I pray for his family especially if his daughter was onboard.


Don’t you think it’s odd that it’s an S-76? Those are reliable aircraft. If you would have told me a Robinson I wouldn’t be shocked but to hear it was an S-76 leads me to believe that something extraordinary happened


I hadn’t heard it was an S-76. Those are really good helicopters and most are instrumented for instrument flight. Someone mentioned earlier that it was possibly foggy, they could have gone IIMC and/ or gotten SD. That combination of inadvertent followed by spatial-d has killed a lot of people. It is pure speculation at this point on my part but I wouldn’t rule that out. I am guessing by your handle you know a thing or two about helicopters, so you know as much as I do that mechanical failure is very rare.

I have a son that is currently a Night Stalker and know what it means. Thank you for your service.



Most of my knowledge is on the 47s but I’ve been around a few. Good on your son!! I still work with them now on the civilian side and It was an honor to serve

I saw another article earlier that said that a former University of Houston baseball player and coach, John Altobelli, along with his wife and daughter (who played on the same team) were among those killed in the crash.

as a parent, the loss of the teenagers onboard is heart wrenching to hear - besides the loss of an NBA superstar & other coaches ... it's hard for me to hear about kids dying ... prayers for all families involved ...

Doesn't matter that she voluntarily made 3 separate trips up to Kobe's room that night. Doesn't matter that the panties she wore to her medical exam contained semen and a hair follicle that didn't belong to Kobe (she claims that she "accidentally" put on a pair of dirty panties). Doesn't matter that the night auditor (a woman) spoke with the accuser as she was leaving, and said she didn't look or sound like there was a problem. Doesn't matter that she was admitted telling several lies to the investigator.

I don't pretend to know if he raped her or not, but I'm not going to call Kobe a rapist or sexual predator or otherwise without any other knowledge than "she said so".

Yeah at least with an airplane and loss of power, theres some amount of glide possible.....with a helicopter you're just dropping like a rock.
Which is perfectly safe if you have sufficient altitude and still have control of your rotor head.

I honestly have always thought the same. That was one of those rare times where I just couldn't get behind the so-called victim as things just didn't add up.
