BREAKING: Vanessa Bryant and another man were awarded damages for the graphic photos sheriff’s deputies and firefighters took of the helicopter crash.
“We’re not here because of an accident,” Craig Lavoie, another attorney representing Vanessa Bryant, told jurors during his closing arguments Tuesday, on what would have been Kobe Bryant’s 44th birthday. “We’re here because of intentional conduct. Intentional conduct by those who were charged with protecting the dignity of Sarah and Payton, and Kobe and Gianna.”
Attorneys for Los Angeles County argued that there were legitimate reasons for first responders to take and receive the photos, including to help determine the size of the crash site and decide what resources were needed, thereported. The images, they said, were never published online or in the media -- nor were they seen by the victims’ families because of swift work by the sheriff’s office and fire leaders in halting the spread of their circulation.
“This is the pictures case, and there are no pictures,” Mira Hashmall, an attorney representing the county, said during closing argument.
