Good Evening. I'm Jean Jadhon.
Colroado prosecutors are getting ready to hold a press conference at any moment now where they'll announce whether Bryant will face charges- and if so, just what those charges are.
This all surrounds allegations made by a woman that the NBA star sexually assaulted her.
The prosecutor has been reviewing test results from the state
crime lab.
The Los Angeles Lakers player was arrested two weeks ago after a hotel worker said Bryant assaulted her.
Jennifer MIller is live in Eagle County, Colorado where that press conference is set to begin.
