and under budget.

(AP) — Nearly 11 months after
his arrest, NBA star Kobe Bryant
pleaded not guilty T uesday in
Eagle, Colo, to a rape charge that
could land him in prison for life.
Standing im passively before

Ruckricgle, Bryant said only four
words during his brief arraignment.
“ Yes sir,” he said, bending
slightly to speak into a microphone
when asked if he understood the

Asked for his plea, he answered
“not guilty" and sat down shortly
afterward.
