Law - This Blog's First, and Last, Post in Kobe Bryant Case

This is just too incredible to pass by. The AP is reporting this evening, in a story headlined "Sealed Bryant Filing Mistakenly Posted," that:

The order, which included the accuser's name, appeared on a Web site where public filings are posted as a convenience to court staff and the media. The Web site was shut down for about three hours to remove the document.

The accidental posting was the latest in a string of mistakes that the accuser's attorney, John Clune, has said prompted her to consider ending her participation in the case. * * *

In September, the accuser's name was included in another filing posted on the Web site.

Last fall, the Glenwood Springs hospital where she and Bryant were examined accidentally turned over her medical records to lawyers in the case.

In late June, a court reporter accidentally e-mailed to The Associated Press and six other media groups transcripts of a closed-door hearing that dealt with aspects of the accuser's sex life and money she received from a state victims' compensation fund.
