YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant's widow, agreed to a $29 million settlement over photos shared by emergency workers of her deceased husband and daughter.

RELATED:

The settlement also resolves all pending litigation and future claims from Bryant, widow of Kobe Bryant, the NBA legend. It is subject to court approval and would cover her children as well.

The jury determined that the county fire and sheriff’s departments violated their constitutional rights to control the death images of family members, as established by federal precedent under the Fourteenth Amendment. The jury initially awarded fellow plaintiff Chris Chester $15 million and Bryant $16 million for their past and future emotional distress, though Bryant’s amount was reduced to $15 million after a juror noted an error on the verdict form.
