Vanessa Bryant had to leave the courtroom in tears when witnesses were questioned about whether photos revealed any bodies of the children at the scene. However, one witness said he saw what was said to be Kobe’s torso in the photos.
Completely fcked up situation for her and the loved ones of the other crash victims.

A federal jury has found that Los Angeles County must pay Vanessa Bryant $16 million dollars after first responders snapped and shared grisly photos of the fatal 2020 helicopter crash that killed her husband, 13-year old daughter and seven others.
quote:
The panel of nine jurors agreed that deputies and firefighters invaded the privacy of Kobe Bryant’s widow and brought her emotional distress by taking photos of the remains of the NBA star and his daughter Gianna.
Vanessa Bryant wept quietly as the verdict was read following 4 1/2 hours of jury deliberation, and walked out of court holding the hand of her 19-year-old daughter Natalia.
The jurors also awarded $15 million to plaintiff Chris Chester, who lost his wife Sarah and daughter Payton in the crash.

Support.
That's change to her, but it sends a message.
I hate MSM.

Personally, I don’t understand why anyone would want to relive that trauma from sitting in the courtroom reliving those graphic details.

Some people will bitch that she shouldn’t gain financially.
But this…
Should be addressed. Period. Luckily she has the means to do it and also managed to help another family in the process with the same civil suit.

They probably didn't even know who the victims were when they took the photos. Which makes it worse in my opinion. They're supposed to be professionals.
I hope they're bagging groceries now.

What do they have to do with deputies and firefighters taking pictures of Kobe et al.‘s corpses?

Wasn’t she donating it to charity?
Hey she has a right to stand up for her family regardless .
That shite is f$&@$ up they have young kids - they shouldn’t be subjected to pictures of that circulating on social media etc if in the wrong hands.

If you've ever watched that movie Night Crawler you would give her the money as well. People that do that stuff are POS.

They played a clip from his memorial where she said Kobe was the best husband in the world. I think she means his money was. He pretty publicly banged a chick. Something the best husband in the world probably doesn’t do.

What a sham. The woman he raped and jizzed on was given $2.5 million.

If you think about it in terms of the big picture…it really doesn’t matter. They should just try to move on instead of ruining other lives

When you factor in California State Tax, LA County Sales and Property taxes, etc...
LA is still up by a lot.
