Courtroom heats up in Bryant case

EAGLE, Colo. -- Prosecutors tried to portray Kobe Bryant as an arrogant superstar who forced himself on a woman and wouldn't take "No" for an answer. Defense attorneys were just as rough with his accuser, suggesting she had sex with several men in the days before she said Bryant raped her.\nNow it's up to a judge to decide whether the Los Angeles Lakers' guard will stand trial on charges that could send him to prison for the rest of his life.\nA two-day preliminary hearing jammed full of revealing details about both Bryant and his accuser ended Wednesday with one more startling revelation that the panties the woman wore to her rape exam had the semen of another man on them.\nBoth sides claimed victory, with the prosecution saying it presented clear evidence the woman was raped and the defense contending she lied about a sexual encounter with a celebrity she was more than eager to meet.\n"She is not worthy of your belief," defense attorney Pamela Mackey said.
