Describing herself as “blindsided, devastated, hurt and betrayed” by the existence of the images, Vanessa said she filed her lawsuit against the county because she “wanted answers.”
“I live in fear every day,” she said, adding that she never wants her kids to see the pictures. “All you want to do is protect your babies.”
In the wake of the verdict, Mira Hashmall, the lead outside counsel for L.A. County in the case, said in a statement to E! News, “We are grateful for the jury’s hard work in this case. While we disagree with the jury’s findings as to the County’s liability, we believe the monetary award shows that jurors didn’t believe the evidence supported the Plaintiffs’ request of $75 million for emotional distress.”
Hashmall added, “Meanwhile, we hope the Bryant and Chester families continue to heal from their tragic loss.”
