Kobe Bryant

Trial witness speaks out about reported reaction to leaked Kobe Bryant crash photos.

As they tell it, the photos were spread by responders at an awards gala, shared with a woman at a bar, and dispersed among their family members. Some, though, were deemed inadmissible for the trial due to Bryant receiving them before it became public knowledge that L.A. County responders had circulated anything – therefore, making them largely “hearsay” in this case. Apparently, he and other employees there, as well as some bar bystanders, viewed the horrific images which reportedly included ones of the nine victims’ remains. Particularly, they asked if Victor Gutierrez had found the pictures funny at that time. The attorney for Kobe Bryant’s widow pushed back in their cross examination of the witness. TMZ reports that Victor Gutierrez confirmed in court on August 12 that L.A. County Sherrif’s Deputy Joey Cruz offered to show him snaps of the crash site at the Baha Grill in Los Angeles where Gutierrez works.

L.A. cops have a dark culture when it comes to grizzly death scenes, keeping "ghoul books" with photos of famous people who met violent deaths.

The deputy admitted he took shots of Kobe's remains, although he says he didn't know at the time it was the famed basketball star. He also took pics of a body in a ravine near the crash site ... a body of a black child with long hair ... presumably Gianna. Deputy Doug Johnson testified he did not regret taking photos of the remains, claiming he was ordered to do so by a higher-up, even though that higher-up had said he gave no such order.

Amid heavy fog and dense brush, eight members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department set off on foot up the remote terrain of the Santa Monica ...

A key argument in the case is whether the photos needed to be taken at all. "Is it your testimony that taking close-ups of Kobe Bryant's arm and hand helped the command post determine if additional resources were required?" They also claim the county failed to contain the photos because it never forensically searched the personal electronics of those who received them. "Do you know where he is?" "Do you know who he is?" But it wasn't the end. But even though all nine people aboard died in the crash, Johnson still had work to do. Li said two people spread them further. Her husband, basketball star Kobe Bryant, and their daughter Gianna, were among the nine killed in the crash. Johnson was asked in cross-examination by Los Angeles County's attorney Mira Hashmall. It was about 10 a.m. on January 26, 2020, and a helicopter had just crashed. One of those who forged on was Deputy Doug Johnson.

Former Milwaukee Bucks star Brandon Jennings sent out a tweet about former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant.

During his rookie season, he averaged a stellar 18.7 points per game during the NBA Playoffs, and the Bucks took the Atlanta Hawks to a Game 7. The best years of his career came when he played for the Bucks, who drafted him tenth overall in the 2009 NBA Draft. Jennings last played in the NBA in 2018.

After being referred to as the Washington Football Team for the last few seasons, a video leak prematurely revealed that their new name would be the “Commanders.” A list of eight final name options included the Armada, Presidents, Brigade, Red Hogs, Commanders, Red Wolves, Defenders and the Washington Football Team. Red Wolves ran into some trademark issues that would have made the nickname too difficult to use. The White Sox tied it at 3-3 in the bottom of the inning. Minnesota loaded the bases with no outs on a walk by Max Kepler, a single by Sanchez and a hit-by-pitch by Byron Buxton. Correa drove in Kepler with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0, but Detmers struck out the next two hitters to limit the damage. Chicago did score in the bottom of the inning. The Angels, though, were able to finish it off in the 11th when Ward connected on a full-count pitch from Twins reliever Emilio Pagan (3-6). Angels reliever Ryan Tepera (2-2) pitched a scoreless top of the 11th to earn the victory. The best bets for those three wins are the two games they have in the second half against the New York Giants, and a trip to Chicago also looks like a great spot to add another easy victory. Taylor Ward's two-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-3 come-from-behind victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif. The Angels trailed 3-1 going into the bottom of the ninth inning but they put runners on first and second with two out against Twins closer Jorge Lopez. Lopez got two quick strikes on Magneuris Sierra, but Sierra sliced a liner into the left field corner, where Twins left fielder Nick Gordon attempted to make a diving catch. Philadelphia Eagles win totals Over 9.5 (-130) Under 9.5 (+110) Best Bet: Over 9.5 The Eagles begin on the road, but they still have a great chance to get off to a good start against Detroit. (See an earlier article where I highlighted the Eagles in this spot.) I am not buying into the Lions at all. The bye week comes in Week 7, which might be a little earlier than preferred, but with games against Houston and Washington in Weeks 9 and 10, the Eagles have a great shot to be something like 7-2 over the first half of the season. (I am pretty sure I have written that before.) I like them to claim the NFC East, and playing in that weak division gives them a chance to bank some easy wins.

Captain Emily Tauscher provided the jury with a detailed account of what she saw at the crash site.

The majority of the victims had to be scientifically identified because their wounds were so extreme, she said. Tauscher informed the jury of the proper photo practices of the coroner’s office, detailed accounts of how gruesome the crash site was, and the conditions of each victim’s body. About 1,250 photos of the crash site were taken, 300 featuring human remains.

Photos taken of the remains of Kobe Bryant and other victims killed in the 2020 helicopter crash were shared by an L.A. firefighter at an awards gala.

The county addressed the accusations of shared photos in a brief filed before trial. “There is no evidence that county employees have a ‘persistent and widespread’ practice of sharing ‘death images’ within LASD or LACFD,” the county’s stated earlier this month. Weireter added that she overheard another Los Angeles County Fire Captain make a joke about the horrid images.

Vanessa Bryant filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County after learning deputies shared photos of the victims.

The NBA legend, his daughter,,and members of her basketball team were headed to a tournament on Jan. 26 when their helicopter crashed into a Calabasas hillside. In an attempt to drive that point home, he said she “will be haunted by what they did forever.” But, Deputy Doug Johnson stands by his actions, stating that there was nothing wrong with him capturing images of the site or victims while appearing in court Friday (Aug. 12).

Kobe Bryant's passing completely rocked the NBA community. In a shocking and heartbreaking accident, Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, became one of seven.

It's an unfortunate circumstance for the Bryant family. “Photos taken at the scene of the fatal helicopter crash that killed NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others were shared by a Los Angeles County firefighter during the cocktail hour at an awards ceremony a month after the crash, according to witness testimony,” wrote CNN. “On Wednesday, the trial was launched for a federal civil lawsuit filed by Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, who claims that photos from the January 2020 crash were shared by county fire and sheriff’s department employees in settings irrelevant to the investigation, including at a bar. As the NBA community continues to remember and celebrate the life and career of Kobe, his now widowed wife is fighting a battle in court over the handling of the crash photos that were taken by first responders.
