Jury finds in favour of Kobe Bryant’s widow Vanessa and orders for her to be paid $16m in trial over crash photos
A federal jury has found that Los Angeles County must pay Kobe Bryant’s widow $16m (£13.6 million) for emotional distress caused by emergency service workers taking and sharing pictures of the NBA star’s body.
Bryant was travelling with 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others to a youth basketball game when the helicopter they were aboard crashed into hills in Calabasas west of Los Angeles on January 26, 2020.
