A verdict has been finally passed after Vanessa Bryant filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County.
This comes after the jury in the lawsuit deliberated for less than four (4) hours before they settled on a decision.
They ordered Los Angeles County to pay $31 million to Vanessa and co-plaintiff Christopher Chester, according to multiple reports Newshuntermag.com has come across.
Per Los Angeles Times reports, the jury awarded $16 million to Vanessa and $15 million to Christopher, who lost his wife, Sarah, and 13-year-old daughter, Payton, in the same helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and 13-year-old Gianna Bryant on Jan. 26, 2020.
Because of the gruesome photos taken by officers at the crash site, Vanessa and Christopher were seeking millions of dollars in damages for emotional distress in the suit.
Though she did not make any statement to the media when leaving the court house, Vanessa Bryant broke her silence on the verdict through a post on Instagram.
“All for you! I love you! JUSTICE for Kobe and Gigi! #Betonyourself #MambaDay 8•24•22,” she captioned a photo of herself, Kobe, and Gianna.
Justice finally served? What is your say about the verdict?
