Vanessa Bryant cried, stood up and her attorney asked the presiding judge permission for her to leave the courtroom.īryant did not return for the remainder of Gutierrez’s testimony, which continued with a series of surveillance clips from the bar he was working at on Janu– two days after the crash and a month before the awards ceremony. Gutierrez had been describing what he saw in the photos shown by a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy at a bar on a prior date. She became emotional when Victor Gutierrez, a bartender, was asked if he had seen the body of her daughter, Gianna Bryant, in the images. On Thursday afternoon, Vanessa Bryant walked out of court during testimony that described photos taken at the scene of the crash. Vanessa Bryant was not present for Johnson’s testimony. Johnson said he deleted the photos he took the night of the crash once he got home as well as the text thread with a deputy at the command post with whom he had shared the photos. This person has not been identified by anyone else in the court up to this point, leading the plaintiff attorney to suggest the photos could still be accessible somewhere. He sent the photos to the command post and airdropped them to a fire department “supervisor” he was unable to identify. “I know I didn’t do anything wrong,” he testified, adding that he does not regret what he did and wouldn’t have done anything differently. Johnson said it is a common practice to text close-up photos of dead bodies to other deputies, and he had received numerous similar photos throughout his career without ever being disciplined.
Photos shown to the courtroom were graphic in nature, depicting severed limbs and deceased children. Johnson, who was the first of two deputies to arrive at the crash scene, said he took about 25 photos at the site on his personal cell phone because he was not issued a work phone, and about one-third of the images contained human remains.
