Rita Cosby on Fox News is reporting new information about the accuser's yellow panties that she wore to her rape exam the day following the encounter with Kobe. "Sources close to the prosecution" now tell Rita that these were dirty panties lying around the accuser's room that she just happened to put on. Panties that were dirty from a sexual encounter that had happened weeks earlier. Isn't this in violation of the gag order?

This is laughable. We repeat, the prosecution wants to say the accuser wore dirty underwear she had laying around her room for weeks following another sexual encounter to her rape exam. Talk about damage to the accuser's reputation....who wants to be known for having such poor personal hygeine that you leave dirty underwear around your room for weeks - and then re-wear it?

But more troubling is Rita's repeated references to "sources close to the prosecution." All law enforcement, prosecutors and court personnel are effectively gagged by the court's July 24 Order. The Order also directs prosecutors to maintain a tight lid on their investigators and employees. Time for another investigation.
