NBA legend Kobe Bryant and nine others, including his daughter, Gianni, sadly died in the gory plane crash that got all of us shocked to the bone marrow on January 26, 2020, and to date, it still remains on our minds. Rest in peace to all the lost souls!
Now, as if the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianni wasn’t enough of a pain to his wife, Vanessa Bryant, as a Judge sitting on the case of Vanessa Bryant and the LA County over allegations that some “people employed by and affiliated with its Sheriff’s Department callously photographed remains of her husband,” has ruled that the widow “must turn over therapy records in her lawsuit” to prove that indeed the taking of the photographs “caused her severe emotional distress and compounded her trauma after January 26, 2020, crash that killed all nine people aboard.”
The Judge’s order on Monday came as a shock to many since it will further give power to the very people she’s suing for allegedly passing around photos of the remains of her husband and daughter to invade her privacy.
Now, the League Of Justice has done an editorial on the Judge’s order, and according to the editorial, it disagrees with the ruling and thinks it’s “narrow.”
Just when the case couldn’t have become more cruel and cold, the Judge in the case decided today to entertain LA County’s ludicrous assertion. Who would ever believe that Bryant was not emotionally distressed over the sensationalism of pictures of her loved ones remains being used in show and tells by first responders? One of them reportedly used the crash scene pictures to try to pick up a girl at a bar.
The Judge shockingly ordered Bryant to hand over her private therapy records to prove it. As a result, now LA County can try to use her grief to again invade her privacy, exploit her family, and compound her emotional distress. Now LA County attorneys will have carte blanche to make legal arguments that her therapy sessions prove she wasn’t upset that her loved ones remains were photographed and distributed without authorization.
LA County Sherriffs wanted records going all the way back to 2010, but the Judge ruled they could get her sessions as far back as 2017
What do you think about the Judge ordering Vanessa Bryant, a widow who is still hurt due to the tragic death of her husband and daughter, to hand over her private therapy records to prove her case? That’s cruel of the Judge, I think.
The Justice System isn’t “JUST” for everyone.
