DENVER (Reuters) - Television cameras will be limited to closing arguments in the rape case against professional basketball star Kobe Bryant, the judge presiding over the trial ordered on Tuesday. District Judge Terry Ruckriegle cited the potential for intimidation and reluctance on the part of witnesses in the high-profile case. Court TV, which broadcasts trials on cable television, asked the judge to allow it to air the trial, which begins on Friday when potential jurors show up in an Eagle, Colorado courtroom to fill out a questionnaire.
