Kobe Bryant dead from Helicopter crash

[Athene]

Nobody glossed over anything, the defense said she was on medication, that doesn't prove she wasn't thinking clearly at that time or she couldn't be raped.

The details regarding behavior associated with her mental condition provide reasonable doubt. 
And plenty of it, in my view.

Allowing for the possibility she could've been raped, doesn't cut it. Running with premises of "Anything could've happened, so let's all go ahead and call Kobe a rapist, just in case" or "It's better for all victims to just go ahead and say he is, even though there's compelling evidence to the contrary", doesn't work for me.

She was at work obviously functioning like a sane person and she obviously was functioning well enough because the hotel allowed her to be around Bryant and give him a tour of the hotel.

 

Yes, and well enough to consent sex at the time. But we know that schizophrenic episodes can be marked psychotic delusions and hallucinations resulting in a complete detachment from reality. The point is she may have experienced an onset or escalation of symptoms after the event that changed her perception of the encounter--as what clearly appeared to have happened in accordance to various witness accounts AND her harrowing recollection of menacingly being forced to wash her face and tidy her appearance up before leaving Bryant's room and then later stating, no, no that didn't happen--she simply checked her face and hair, out in hallway.
I don't condone automatically discount or dismiss anyone's sexual assault accounts of mental illness--But if one's mental illness results in them suffering ongoing or shifting delusions specific to the event in question, then yes, it most certainly does matter.

The rape kit and the findings from medical professionals state that the injuries and bleeding were not consistent with consensual sex.

Again, the injuries were ALSO consistent with rough sex and/or having multiple partners within a brief time span. Rape cannot be isolated as the sole possible cause of her injuries. Bryant admitted to engaging in his go-to position rough sex position with her, and her rape kit included multiple semen samples--Enough to indicate that she engaged in intercourse shortly after her encounter with Bryant--which she attributed to a laundry mishap before her examination. 

Her story was a mess; It was quite literally all over the place, and that is why I am unconvinced that she was raped by Bryant.

There was enough to go trial and enough that Bryants team was not interested in proving his supposed innocence but more interested in settling out of court.

The criminal case was dropped because the accuser refused to testify.

I don't think it's all that unusual for individuals to opt for settling out of court instead of proceeding with a long, drawn-out civil trial; Innocent or not. Perhaps he wanted to spare himself, his wife, and his career any further humiliation by having a spotlight put on his extramarital activities longer than necessary--and/or perhaps being made aware of his accuser's extensive mental health issues actually did make him feel bad (as his letter seems to indicate) and thus more receptive to the idea giving her a settlement as opposed to the idea of paying off a conniving groupie who was simply looking for a quick payout.

IDK, though. He's dead now, so no one can ask him.
