A federal jury has awarded Kobe Bryant’s widow Vanessa $16 million after an 11-day civil trial that went into graphic detail about gruesome photos that were taken and shared from the scene of a helicopter crash that killed all nine aboard in January 2020, including the NBA legend and his daughter.
The nine-member jury found Los Angeles County liable for damages to Bryant and Chris Chester, a financial adviser who lost his wife and daughter in the same crash and separately was awarded $15 million by the same jury.

Freedom of religion? Lol

It wasn’t just Kobe, photos of their child were unlawfully taken and shared. It’s grotesque and a violation no parent should ever endure.
Oh wow.
But did the family of the helicopter pilot sue Kobes family for disobeying the pilots advice against flying in heavy fog?
No? Just more money to the rich? Okay…
So we have to pay her with tax dollars….?
Yup y’all do
