Vanessa Bryant might have to take psychiatric exam for lawsuit over helicopter crash photos
In the latest court case regarding a helicopter crash, onlookers Vanessa Bryant and her family members were suing a CBS News station for a report that implied they coached their daughter’s public trauma. Inside Edition found a network of hidden cameras behind a warehouse door which revealed what might have been going on prior to the accident – with the footage being online for all to see. As an interesting twist, after Bryant is forced to take an emotional-stress test as part of pre-trial proceedings, it is revealed she might have to take psychiatric exam for lawsuit over helicopter crash photos
To determine whether Vanessa is competent to defend the lawsuit against them, the Los Angeles County has requested she be evaluated by a psychiatric specialist. On Jan. 26, 2020, there was a fatal accident in Calabasas, California which killed Kobe, Gianna, and seven other passengers. The case stems from employees of the county fire department and sheriff’s department who shared pictures of the scene.
What caused the crash?
As a result of LA County’s interest, Vanessa and others in the suit are being asked to take the exam, to determine if the emotional distress they feel was a result of the post or the accident itself. Currently, Los Angeles claims that it is the latter that was the case.
Is the family suing the media?
In accordance with Los Angeles County, Bryant and the others are suing them for money that amounts to tens of millions of dollars in a lawsuit that revolves around the effect that the January 2020 events had on them psychologically. It is alleged by them, however, that Vanessa and her company have refused to submit to independent medical exams despite all of this. Accordingly, a trial is expected to start in February.
Kobe Bryant turns 43
Only a few months ago, Kobe Bryant would have turned 43. A picture of Vanessa and Kobe was used as a part of an Instagram post that was published on that day as a commemorative post for that momentous occasion.
The district attorney who put Curtis Flowers on trial six times has been sued by the Black man wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years.
According to ABC News, Montgomery County District Attorney Doug Evans and three investigators have been named in a lawsuit filed on Friday (Sept. 3). Evans and the investigators are accused of engaging in wrongdoing, including “pressuring witnesses into fabricating statements about seeing Mr. Flowers on the day of the murders and ignoring other possible suspects,” according to the lawsuit. Amount of money sought by Flowers is not stated in the lawsuit. A jury will make that decision.
Flowers, who was convicted in the 1996 shooting deaths of four people, spent nearly half of his life on death row. Up until two weeks before the shootings at the Winona Tardy Furniture Store, he was employed there. Bertha Tardy and three of her employees, Carmen Rigby, Robert Golden, and Derrick Stewart, were shot to death in the head.
Despite no known motive and little evidence, Flowers was charged with the homicides. Several experts hinted at the possibility of more than one person being involved in the shooting, but Flowers was the only one charged. As a result, he was convicted four times: twice for all four murders and twice for the individual murders. There have also been two mistrials involving all four deaths, with every conviction getting overturned. Lynn Fitch, Mississippi’s attorney general, announced in 2020 that the state would not pursue Flowers’ seventh trial, freeing him at long last after 23 years in prison.
