Kobe Bryant’s widow was awarded $16 million as part of a $31 million jury verdict Wednesday against Los Angeles County for deputies and firefighters sharing grisly photos of the NBA star, his 13-year-old daughter and other victims killed in a 2020 helicopter crash.

Shared by a handful of cops and firemen with their phones, I guess. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense with the big settlement.
Wasn't he in charge of the site? Why would .gov take photos of dead children, parents and coaches and share them all over town. Some weird fetish.
You said online. Not true.
The people who showed off the photos are the ones who should pay.
Some of the deputies shareds them with friends and a bartender at their local bar hangout
Yes a totally lowlife move. I know I would be pissed.
I was an LEO for 25 years and saw a lot of nasty stuff, lots of dead people and horrific carnage. Never even thought of memorializing it with photos much less releasing them publicly.
But the people of California are not very smart, so I guess they should pay anyway. If you are not one of the brain dead loosers you should have moved away years ago. I did.
true said online. my mistake.
Oh, big deal. I saw some of the so called worst photos from the Bryant death scene. You can’t tell anything is human in there. There’s a picture of a leg with a shoe on it. Some tarp covered objects - one with a clenched fist sticking out. Gettysburg pictorials of dead men are far worse.
It wasn't the foggy weather, it's that the pilot wasn't rated for flying in instrument conditions.

Rather than the taxpayers being forced to pay out, fire the offending officers, cancel their pensions minus what they paid in.
Some juries display total insanity.
Kobe’s widow wasn’t the only person awarded $$$$ in this case.
A man who lost his wife and daughter was awarded $15 million.
Blame the LEOs who took photos of the victims and leaked them.
And how much of the money is going to the lawyers?
DNA evidence proved the "victim" had another partner right afterward. The case against Kobe was dropped.
Shared by a handful of cops and firemen with their phones, I guess. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense with the big settlement.

Her pain is that even the photos were barely shared, and deleted, and never seen on the web, they might still show up in the future, years from now.
Could care less. Too bad she didn’t get more. I love for her to bring LA to its knees. Perhaps require the city to desolve.
In my best “Rick from Pawn Star’s,” voice, I’ll give you $250,000.00 (two-hundred and fifty-thousand / 1/4 of a million dollar’s) for that ring, that’s the best I can do.
Civil lawsuits aren't exclusive to L.A. This one is just interesting for its outrageousness.
I suspect she’ll funnel some of that cash back into black/lib causes you know race and stuff
I can’t find any pics.
