County attorneys say it will be proven to a federal jury in downtown Los Angeles that no photos taken by personnel at the scene of the Jan. 26, 2020, hillside crash in Calabasas were ever shared with the public.
"As part of their duties, these first responders took photos of the scene and sent them to their colleagues at the Command Post, as well as officials of the National Transportation Safety Board. And now, two years later, the fact remains that none of these photos have ever been publicly disseminated. Yet the sad irony is Ms.
"And that was only the beginning,'' according to the widow's court papers."The gratuitous sharing continued in the following days and weeks and included such outrageous conduct as flaunting the photos in a bar while pantomiming dismemberment and showing off the photos over cocktails at an awards gala.''
Vanessa Bryant, 39, said she is infuriated"that the people I trusted to protect the dignity of my husband and daughter abused their positions to obtain souvenirs of their deaths, as though possessing pictures of their remains somehow makes them special. I imagine Kobe watching over what occurred at that crash scene, and I am overcome with anger and emotion,'' according to her declaration.
In his deposition, Villanueva testified that he told his personnel to get rid of the photos in order to ensure the graphic images were not shared, which would cause additional harm to the suffering families of the victims, according to county attorneys.
