Yes, we know we've written a lot on the Kobe Bryant case. But we think it is a prime example of how politics gets mixed up in the criminal justice system, which is what TalkLeft is all about. You've got a rural county with limited resources, top flight defense attorneys, a prominent defendant with virtually unlimited resources.

The DA is going to announce his decision at 5pm EST. Here are the possible options as we see them. For those who are interested, we'll be discussing it tonight on the O'Reilly Factor at 8 pm EST (6pm MT); Saturday night at 10 pm EST on Geraldo Rivera At Large, Sunday on Fox News Live at 2:35 pm EST. For those of you in Colorado, tune in Saturday at 1:00 pm MT to KNRC Talk Radio where we'll be discussing the case for the full hour in the context of how justice differs for the rich and poor.

We've written about many other substantive issues today for those of you who aren't interested in the Kobe Bryant case. We're gone for the rest of the day as our best friend is getting married tonight. Politics, crime and weblogs will just have to wait until tomorrow.
