Friday 19 August 2022 06:58 PM Vanessa Bryant sobs in LA court and recalls horrifying moment she learned of ... trends now Vanessa Bryant broke down in tears on the stand Friday as she recalled the moment she learned first responders had leaked images of her husband Kobe's grisly helicopter crash. Bryant cried heavily and gasped for air as she testified she had to run outside her house after seeing media reports of the pictures so her daughters wouldn't see her crying. The wife of the late NBA legend said she was breastfeeding her youngest child when she heard the news, and said 'I felt like I wanted to run down the block and scream.' 'I can't escape my body. I can't escape what I feel,' she said to the court. Bryant confessed she suffers severe panic attacks as she fears the graphic images of her dead husband and daughter may one day surface online. 'I live in fear every day of seeing on social media and having these images pop up,' and added she had never seen the images. 'I don't ever want to see these photographs,' she said. 'I want to remember them as they were. Bryant is seeking millions in damages from Los Angeles County after learning first responders allegedly sent gory images of her Kobe and Gianna between them. Multiple witnesses involved in the incident have testified they have seen the images, forcing Bryant to repeatedly break down over the course of the trial. She even had to leave the courtroom last week after a bartender, Victor Gutierrez, testified a sheriff's deputy had shown him pictures of severed body parts after the crash. Earlier this week, LA Sheriff's Deputy Michael Russell revealed he texted pictures of the wreckage to Santa Clarita Sheriff's Deputy Ben Sanchez a day after the incident. Russell said he was playing the popular Call of Duty shooting game with Sanchez when he told the deputy he had photos of the crime scene that he allegedly got from fellow LA Deputy Joey Cruz, TMZ reported. Los Angeles fire officials allegedly knew sharing graphic pictures of the crash that killed Bryant would land them in hot water as they were dubbed 'plutonium' and were ordered to be gotten rid of. Sky Cornell, a public information officer for the LA County Fire Department, told a jury on Tuesday that first responders went into damage control after it became public that they shared photos of the helicopter crash that killed Bryant, 41, and his daughter, Gianna, 13, in 2020. Cornell, who had admitted to investigators that he 'wanted to see Kobe' as the pictures were being shared, said an official warned the department about what they were doing, TMZ reported. 'Just a reminder folks, there are no secrets! One way or another people get exposed,' the email read according to Cornell. He added that colleague Tony Imbrenda, who admitted to sharing the photos at an awards gala, called the pictures 'plutonium,' and that he needed to 'get rid of them.' Imbrenda, another public information officer, was grilled on Wednesday while testifying that he shared pictures of the helicopter crash during the 2020 Golden Mike awards ceremony, a journalism awards gala in Southern California. Cornell claimed that's when he first encountered the photos, none of which showed Bryant's body but did depict other human remains. Cornell told the court on Thursday that although the setting was not appropriate to share the graphic pictures, he claimed they were used as a 'training' opportunity. Also testifying on Thursday was Arlin Kahan, another fire official, said he was the person who took the initial photos of the crash and sent them to Imbrenda, who Kahan described as 'the one who controls the photos.' Kahan claimed his photos were intended to document the scene of the crash, not to take photos of human remains. Widow Vanessa Bryant's attorney refuted the claim, suggesting it was a fire captain who took the photos of the crash for documentation purposes, not Kahan. 'You weren't even a first responder,' the attorney said, according to Insider. Kahan also claimed that it was his intent to delete the photos once the investigation was closed.
