question: Why would she file this suit now versus waiting until the criminal case is over??

Probably because now with all the new rulings by the judge, the case isn't looking so good re: fair trial etc. (according to legal pundints) http://edition.cnn.com/2004/LAW/08/04/bryant.case.ap/
As quoted in this linked article...
"By filing a civil suit, the woman could be enhancing her chances of holding Bryant accountable for his alleged actions. A conviction in a criminal case requires a higher standard of proof of guilt than a judgment in a civil case."
(think what happened with OJ Simpson case re: crimminal vs civil)....

Either that or she needs the money sooner rather than later.

What do you think the effect will be on the criminal trial?

Hopefully none. Realistically, it's hard to predict these things. Bryant's attorneys are probably better equipped to spin this as a positive for their clients because they have more PR expertise than the prosecution.
ETA: Who cares though?

It makes me think that she's lying.

yeah, filing before the criminal case was done may be a bad move in the media spotlight.
Hopefully this doesnt affect the criminal case and if Kobe is acquited, hopefully this does affect the civil suit.

I think Kobe will be found innocent.
I have a very hard time believing that someone who has been violently raped would have consensual sex with anyone else within a few months, let alone two days! Yes, I know it's possible, but certainly not probable.

Can't deprive him of his liberty by throwing him in jail, but you can deprive him of his money by the legal equivalent of a shakedown...
Why is this case increasingly looking like a total waste of the criminal justice system?

Put the brownhole away for 40 years! If not for this then for what he did to the big man.
