Two O.C. families get $2.5-million settlement over leaked Kobe Bryant crash photos

LA Times  

A Feb. 10, 2020, memorial to the Altobelli family is seen outside Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The Altobellis and Matthew Mauser filed separate federal lawsuits against the county alleging they suffered emotional distress after a Times investigation revealed that Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and firefighters took and shared crash scene photos for purposes outside law enforcement. “We are pleased that the Mauser and Altobelli families, who as private citizens suffered the same grief and loss as others, will be able to move forward after these settlements.. We also hope that eventually the other families will be able to do the same.” Vanessa Bryant has waged an intense battle with the county, even using her social media cachet to castigate the sheriff and name the deputies linked to the photo scandal. California Sheriff Villanueva must testify to his ‘first-hand’ knowledge of Kobe Bryant crash photo-sharing A federal judge ordered L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva to testify in a lawsuit brought by Vanessa Bryant alleging deputies shared photos of the crash scene where her husband, daughter and seven others died. The lawsuits that Bryant and the Chester, Mauser and Altobelli families filed stem from revelations that sheriff’s deputies shared grim images of the crash scene, despite Villanueva’s assurance “that every possible measure” was instituted to “preserve and protect” the Calabasas site, according to court papers.
