I would guess that the following would indicate that the civil action will be tried here in Denver:
From the AP, Via Court TV:
"A no-nonsense federal judge who presided over the Oklahoma City bombing trials now has another high-profile case in his court: the civil lawsuit filed against NBA star Kobe Bryant by the woman accusing him of sexual assault.
U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch is best known for handling the trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the 1995 Oklahoma City case. But in 30 years on the bench, he also presided over a protracted school busing case, the trials of anti-Semitic militants convicted of assassinating a talk show host, and the sentencing of a forestry worker who admitted starting Colorado's worst wildfire.
He was given the Bryant civil case as a result of the random-assignment system used in Denver federal court.
Matsch, appointed to the bench by President Nixon in 1974, keeps tight control of his courtroom. Given to wearing cowboy boots and hats, he sometimes raises his voice to dress down an attorney for asking witnesses repetitive questions, or for coming to court unprepared."
DA comments:
Well, we haven't had a real good media circus for the past few years...Matsch is a piece of work. This should be interesting.
