Kobe Bryant's defense team says the woman accusing him of rape has received nearly $20,000 from a victims' compensation fund in what it calls a rich incentive to pursue a false claim against the NBA star, according to a court transcript released Thursday.
Bryant returns to Colorado on Friday for one of the final two hearings before his trial begins Aug. 27. The hearing will focus on the use of DNA obtained from Bryant during a hospital exam. Also on the agenda are defense requests to limit the prosecution's use of his tape-recorded statements to authorities and to keep the comments sealed until trial.
