I can only imagine this grieving mother’s pain knowing that images of her innocent child’s body in pieces are out there floating around, possibly to be published by someone for profit.

Warning: This story contains descriptions that some readers may find disturbing.
LOS ANGELES – Vanessa Bryant sobbed and excused herself from a federal courtroom here Thursday as a former bartender from an area Mexican restaurant testified about being shown photos of body parts from the helicopter crash in January 2020 that killed nine, including her daughter Gianna and husband, Kobe, the NBA legend.
quote:
Bryant left the courtroom after the former bartender recounted how a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy trainee came to his restaurant and showed him photos from the crash scene two days after the accident.
They were gruesome.
“Did you see a human torso in the photo that you understood to be Kobe Bryant?” asked one of Bryant’s attorneys, Craig Jennings Lavoie. “Yes,” replied the former bartender, Victor Gutierrez.
quote:
Gutierrez said the deputy trainee, Joey Cruz, asked him at his bar that night if he wanted to see a photo of Kobe Bryant’s body.
“Did you also see what appeared to be a girl in any of the photos?” Lavoie asked. “They were just parts,” Gutierrez said. “I don’t know if they were men or women.”
Bryant cried, then got up, left and didn't return Thursday. She sued the county last year, accusing county sheriff’s and fire department employees of taking and sharing photos of her deceased loved ones from the crash scene despite not having a government reason for doing so.
quote:
An internal investigation found the photos went to the devices of 28 sheriff’s personnel, in addition to fire personnel, according to court records. Testimony about the fire department’s handling of these photos is expected Friday morning in a trial that could stretch across two weeks.

This is one of those rare times where I support suing the city. That's exceedingly fricked up.

Hope she wins on that.

And the remedy in these suits is corrupt. The officers should be fired, and those higher up if they were negligent. but working people will end up paying the bill through taxes and law firms on both sides will get rich.

I'm surprised none of the photographs have shown up on the web at this point.

Sue the indiduals that spread the photos and those who covered for them. Take their pensions too. The citizens shouldn't have to cover this.

Would have probably said yes, then
immediately regretted it.

I have always agreed with this, but it gets so much push back when it comes to cops being sued

While true, taxpayers always pay for idiot govt workers. They will keep their lucrative pensions too.

I hope she gets all that she is seeking monetarily, but the act of spreading the photos can never be undone. That is bullshite, and I wouldn't ever want to see those photos.

In these type of suits, are the cops protected from being personally sued?
