Among a new set of rumors swirling around the Kobe Bryant case is that a volley of death threats fired at the District Attorney's Office forced them to close the office Friday afternoon.

Not the case, said spokeswoman Krista Flannigan.

"The staff members were there, and they were conducting business,"said Flannigan.

While they have received threats and hundreds of angry phone calls, Flannigan said, the reason the doors were locked Friday and Monday was two-fold.

"First for security reasons," she said. "Second, so they could get some of their work done."
