Earlier, an attorney for the widow asked the bartender if he saw what appeared to be a girl in any of the photos – Bryant had lost not only her husband but also their then 13-year-old daughter Gianna in the January 2020 crash. “I don’t know if they were men or women,” the bartender said, according to media reports. The pictures that an employee of the sheriff’s office showed him in the bar only showed parts of the body. A total of nine people died in the crash near Los Angeles.

Trial against the district of Los Angeles County
The widow of the former Los Angeles Lakers player brought this lawsuit against the district of Los Angeles County because, in their opinion, employees of the district sheriff’s office and the fire department took pictures of the victims at the accident site and then bystanders – including in Bars – had shown. It was the second day of the trial. According to the media, other shocking details about the photos were also revealed on Thursday.
The trial is expected to take about two weeks, CNN wrote. The lawsuit is about claims for damages in an undisclosed amount as well as violations of civil rights, negligence, emotional distress and invasion of privacy. Survivors of other victims of the crash had also complained separately. Bryant, then 41, and his daughter Gianna were en route to a girls’ basketball tournament.
