La first fight was won by Vanessa Bryant. The demand that is raised against Los Angeles County to get the names of the four officers who took and released photos of the accident where Kobe Bryant, Gigi and seven other people died last year, it was in favor of the Bryant family.
A federal district judge, John F. Walter, found against Los Angeles County, who could keep the names of the policemen private they had the photos of the helicopter crash. The decision will allow the attorneys of Vanessa can add the names of the officers in the investigation and civil rights lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Department led by Alex Villanueva.
“The promise of the bailiff Villanueva to make the report public [de la oficina de asuntos internos] after the conclusion of the investigation, undermines the alleged concern of the accused on the release of the limited excerpts at issue here, “the judge said.
The judge warned that the The department’s concern that the photos might be leaked was not a strong reason to prevent the names of the accused from being revealed and included in the legal process.
“Although the Court acknowledges that this case has been subject to public scrutiny and media attention and that the co-defendants are rightfully concerned that they will encounter scrutiny and attacks on social media, such concerns, themselves, are not sufficient to overcome the strong pressure from the public in their interest in access “, added the judge.
The demand presented by Vanessa Bryant seeks damages for negligence and invasion of privacy, since it is highlighted that agents and firefighters took about 25 to 100 photos of the bodies of the children and parents who died in the helicopter crash on January 26 and they shared them with other members of the Department until they reached the Fire Department spokesperson.
