LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County attorneys contend that Vanessa Bryant has no legal basis to sue four sheriff’s deputies who are alleged to have shared unauthorized photos taken at the site of the helicopter crash that killed her husband, LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven others, according to court papers obtained May 3.

Bryant alleged in her lawsuit that deputies who responded to the Jan. 26, 2020, crash scene used personal cell phones “to take and share gratuitous photos of the dead children, parents and coaches.”
