LOS ANGELES—An attorney for Los Angeles County said on Jan. 6 that it would be proven at trial that no photos taken by county personnel at the scene of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, the NBA legend’s 13-year-old daughter, and seven others were ever shared with the public.
The comment came a day after a federal judge rejected the county’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, seeking millions of dollars in damages for the severe emotional distress she claims she suffered after discovering that graphic digital images of the crash scene were shown to members of the public by county sheriff’s and fire department personnel.
