A jury in a multi-million-dollar civil case brought by Kobe Bryant’s widow over graphic photos of the helicopter crash that killed the basketball star began considering its verdict Wednesday. Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters snapped pictures of the carnage, including the mangled remains of the Los Angeles Lakers legend and his 13-year-old daughter. 


A two-week trial has heard how Vanessa Bryant and Chris Chester, whose wife and daughter also perished in the crash, live in fear of these photographs surfacing on the internet one day.  Chester’s lawyer said the jury should award each of them a million dollars for every year of their remaining expected life—a figure that would amount to USD 40m for Bryant, 40, and USD 30m for Chester, 48. 


Attorney Jerry Jackson called the figure “a fair and reasonable compensation.”
