Kobe circus like old times

Jack Dunphy, the National Review mole in the LAPD, predicts that for the media it will be the OJ trial all over again:

For those in the news trade, those days in L.A. were the heady times. It was the Normandy invasion of crime stories, and veterans of the campaign still revel in the telling of the tales. Those too young to have been there will soon be scuffing up their shoes on bar rails all over Eagle, buying round after round of drinks — strong ones — for those who were. 'Here's your Glenlivet, Geraldo. Finish your story about Judge Ito . . .' Yes, the sad echoes of the Simpson trial ring loudly even now, and the show has only just begun.

He wouldn't be shocked if OJ Simpson himself shows up on TV to advise Bryant on how to be a celebrity defendant.
