Vanessa Bryant Wins Kobe Death Photo Lawsuit

Vanessa Bryant has won her lawsuit against Los Angeles County after a jury of ten decided she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe emotional distress as a result of the death scene photos captured on the cell phones of 8 L.A. County Sheriff's deputies photos she fears will someday surface publicly. That fear was the basis of her lawsuit. The jury awarded Vanessa $16 million. Chris Chester who lost his daughter and wife in the helicopter crash was awarded $15 million. Vanessa broke down sobbing when the verdict was read. The jury was polled and Vanessa looked at them one by one in approval. The verdicts were against both the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. and the L.A. County Fire Dept. The deputies not only took the photos but shared them with friends and family at party's even with strangers at bars
