Kobe Bryant's Next Trial Date Delayed

Prosecution Doesn't Object To Courtroom Cameras

POSTED: 3:26 pm MST October 28, 2003
UPDATED: 7:00 pm MST October 28, 2003

There will be a three-day delay in the Kobe Bryant case.

Bryant was scheduled to appear in state district court in Eagle on Nov. 10 but because of scheduling conflicts, the judge moved the appearance to Nov. 13. At that hearing, Bryant will be advised of his rights, the sexual assault charge against him and he could enter a plea. The hearing is expected to last only a few minutes.

District Attorney Mark Hurlbert last week asked to postpone the hearing for two weeks, saying he and assistant prosecutor Ingrid Bakke had prior engagements on Nov. 10 that could not be changed.

District Judge Terry Ruckriegle said he discussed the matter in a conference call with the defense and prosecutors, and said Bryant's attorneys did not object to delaying the hearing for three days.

The Lakers have home games on Nov. 12 and Nov. 14. They play at Memphis on Nov. 10.

Earlier Tuesday, prosecutors said they do not object to having cameras in the courtroom for the hearing as requested by Court TV and The Associated Press. Ruckriegle has not yet ruled on the request.

Cameras were allowed in the courtroom when Bryant made his first appearance before Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett, who later cited court rules in prohibiting cameras in the courtroom during Bryant's preliminary hearing.
