John Polito was hired by the Eagle County District Attorney to enhance and authenticate the police interview tape recording of Kobe Bryant. Mr. Polito testified during pretrial hearings as to the authenticity of the recording. The recording was admitted into the trial and Mr. Polito, a self-proclaimed Laker fan, fears he has been black listed from court-side seats for life! He was just doing his job, Kobe; send some of those court-side tickets his way to show there’s no hard feelings.
