Karma finally catches up to Kobe

2003 - Kobe rapes someone, has his defense team smear them viciously, practically intimidating the victim into not testifying, then settles in a civil suit.  Early 2020 - Kobe Bryant dies in a helicopter crash. 

17 years is a bit too long for instant karma, so we'll call this one "settled out of court."

If only he was as good at keeping it in his pants as he was at playing a game for kids.
