The team of lawyers
The police would like to keep for himself this information, but the team of lawyers Vanessa claims that the county could not find a single case in which an agent, sued for violation of civil rights, it has been authorized to remain anonymous. “Not secretare the names of the police officers increases the risk that hackers try to gain access to their devices to find the pictures and post them,” you justify the lawyers of the body to the police, asking for a forensic examination to determine if there’s still the images in question. In short, the legal battle is only the opening stages.

The photographer
taking the photos, however, would have been a police officer: he would have made between 25 and 100, sending you all then to most of the agents and eventually triggering a cycle of transmission. The details of the lawsuit filed by the lawyers of Vanessa are shocking. An agent, felt that the photos were shooting within the district, he would at times requested and then share them with a friend with whom to play online video games. The latter, tells the Los Angeles Times, he then revealed to the investigators that the images showed the remains of a little girl. Another policeman, on the site of the accident, he would have instead sent the shots to a detective close to the sheriff Villanueva. But the accusation of the wife of Bryant focuses on the role of the agent trainee. Had to watch the path that leads to the place of the incident, but received the photos of the bodies charred Kobe and Gianna, would have started to rotate them, showing them, then, proud also to people who are completely unrelated to each other, as the nephew.

the reaction of The police
“The actions we have taken have been the correct ones in extraordinary circumstances — defended —. My priority was to make sure that those photos were permanently deleted”. A story that has rocked Los Angeles. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom in September, he signed a bill that punishes those who, between peace officers and first responders, snaps photos not allowed on the scene of a crime or an accident. The law entered into force on the first of January, and provides for fines of up to $ 1,000. Too late to Vanessa Bryant, who now wants justice.
