The lead prosecutor in the sexual assault case against Kobe Bryant said he will not take a prominent role in the NBA star's trial.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert said he would provide general oversight while Gregg Crittenden, and prosecutors Dana Easter and Ingrid Bakke will handle most of the trial duties.
Hurlbert said in a statement that he would be neglecting other duties to take a major role in the Bryant trial.
"I have a duty to every citizen in the 5th Judicial District -- Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake and Summit counties," Hurlbert said.

Shaquille O'Neal's wife, Shaunie, has told the entertainment magazine show "Extra" that a trade to Dallas Mavericks is fine by her.
"Right now, I'd love to go to Dallas," she said during an interview that will air Thursday night. "Love to go! ... Hint, hint, so [Mavericks owner] Mark [Cuban], if you're listening ...."
Shaunie O'Neal was giving a TV tour of the family's 18-bedroom Los Angeles mansion, which is now on the market for $7.5 million.
Selling the mansion was planned whether Shaq remained with the Lakers or not.
"Now it just seems more dramatic than it is, but whatever works. ... If this means business, then hey, we mean business!" Shaunie O'Neal said.
"We'll have to take a look at [a trade for Shaq]," Cuban told the Star-Telegram. "But it just depends on which players [are involved]. Anything is possible, but we really like the group of guys that we have now. We've got a young nucleus and an experienced nucleus, and that's a great combination."
"It's a different world financially right now, but there's only one Shaq, and there's only one Tracy McGrady, and there's only one Dirk," Cuban said. "Those are very, very special top-five, top-tier players."
On paying O'Neal's bulky remaining contract dollar amount: "I'm willing to accept the salary. It's not going to be cheap in either case, but those are the type of players that I said that I'm willing to pay for."
