Kobe Bryant’s widow Vanessa Bryant has won her lawsuit against Los Angeles County. The judgement was handed down by a jury of ten who decided that she suffered immense emotional trauma because of the death scene photos captured on the cell phones of 8 L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies.
Her emotional suffering came to light because of her fear that someday the photos would be shared with the public. Vanessa Bryant was awarded USD $16 million while Chris Chester who lost both his daughter and wife in the tragic helicopter crash was awarded $15 million.
The widow broke down following the judgement and thanked the jury for their final decision. August 23 would have been Kobe’s 44th birthday.
