EAGLE, Colo. ââ¬â Prospective jurors in the Kobe Bryant (search) rape case were asked their feelings on racial prejudice, interracial relationships, marital infidelity and justice for the rich and famous in an 82-item questionnaire released Monday.

The questionnaire asks candidates how they feel about interracial relationships, whether they have had "any negative experience with an African American" and whether they are biased against mental health professionals.

The potential jurors filled out the surveys Friday, and lawyers began questioning them individually behind closed doors Monday after District Judge Terry Ruckriegle (search) rejected a request to let the media listen in.
Ruckriegle said he wanted the prospective jurors to feel they could answer questions about potentially embarrassing topics without scrutiny from the media. He said the prospective jurors' right to privacy and Bryant's right to a fair trial outweigh the First Amendment right of access.
Bryant, 26, who appeared at the courthouse Monday, has pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault, saying he had consensual sex with a then-19-year-old employee at a Vail-area resort last summer. If convicted, the Los Angeles Lakers (search) star could get four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, and a fine of up to $750,000.
Prospective jurors were asked about their impressions of pro basketball players, and whether they believe wealthy people are treated better by the courts.
The questionnaire asks candidates how they feel about interracial relationships, whether they have had "any negative experience with an African American" and whether they are biased against mental health professionals.
It also asks whether they have been "affected by or involved in" marital infidelity.

Bryant is a married father of one. He is black; his accuser is white.

Here's where they get rid of anyone who doesn't think blacks are always the victim.

Now definitely the woman will be on trial now and not Kobe! She will have to prove that she was not an evil WN racist whore trying to pin a rich, upstanding black man for his money and possibly a baby! I am afraid it will be slam dunk for Kobe. He will be free to hunt again.

It hardly matters; the judge in this case has already made it eminently clear he will do everything in his power to prevent a conviction in this case. At least with the O.J. Simpson trial, Judge Ito was an incompetent moron. This judge in Colorado is, for all practical purposes, a criminal co-conspirator and accessory after the fact in the rape of that foolish, unfortunate girl. Hopefully one day, that "Kobe" creature and this judge can be hanged side-by-side. Until then, this is what's going to pass for "justice" in America.
