which seeks unspecified damages, including punitive damages, for negligence, invasion of privacy as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit accuses eight sheriff's deputies of taking cell phone photos of the bodies of her late husband and late daughter for their personal use.
Legal expert Julie Rendelman, who is not involved in the Kobe Bryant crash photos lawsuit, tells ET that Vanessa's lawyers asking witnesses to tell the jury in graphic detail about what they saw in the photos is necessary, however painful. "The second reason is ... the more gruesome these photos are the more emotionally distressing it is to Vanessa Bryant and her family to know that individuals that have absolutely nothing to do and no right to view these photos had the opportunity to do so," she added.
"They’re not online. They’re not in the media. They’ve never even been seen by the plaintiffs themselves,” she said, adding, "That is not an accident. That is a function of how diligent [the department leaders] were.""The county is saying the reason those photos were taken was because it was for a legitimate investigation," she says.
