Kobe Bryant's widow Vanessa to have jury award reduced by $1 million after mistake
, the jury found this to be a violation of their constitutional rights. But after the verdict was read in court, one of the jurors advised the courtroom deputy that there was an error in the verdict form pertaining to Bryant.
In a jury note, the juror stated that Bryant should be awarded $1.5 million by the sheriff’s department for past emotional distress, not $2.5 million. The jury also awarded her $13.5 million in other damages for emotional distress. The change in the jury award means each is to be awarded $15 million.“Throughout this case, Mrs. Bryant has sought only accountability," Li said."She has never asked for a specific dollar amount and has trusted the jury to do justice.
Walter said it was unnecessary to recall the jury in light of Bryant's agreement to accept $1 million less in emotional stress damages against the sheriff's department. Li said Bryant intends for her award to go to the Mamba and Mambacita foundation to honor Kobe and Gianna’s legacy. “From the beginning, Vanessa Bryant has sought only accountability, but our legal system does not permit her to force better policies, more training or officer discipline,” Li said in a statement Thursday. “Those measures are the responsibility of the Sheriff’s and Fire Departments – responsibilities that Mrs. Bryant’s efforts have exposed as woefully deficient, even giving amnesty to the wrongdoers.
