Vanessa Bryant Wins Kobe Death Photo Lawsuit — Awarded $16 Million

On Wednesday, August 24, Vanessa Bryant won a $16 million judgment in the Kobe Bryant accident photos trial.

A panel of ten people decided that Vanessa did, in fact, experience mental distress as a result of the photos that were snapped by eight police officers.

The jury also gave Chris Chester a $15 million prize in addition to the $16 million they gave Vanessa. Chester’s wife and daughter perished in the accident.

Vanessa reportedly experienced extreme emotion following the victory and sobbed uncontrollably, according to TMZ.
