Report: Court Rules Vanessa Bryant Can Obtain Names Of LASD Deputies Accused Of Sharing Crash Site Photos

By CBSLA Staff, CBS Los Angeles:

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A federal judge ruled Monday that Vanessa Bryant can obtain the names of four Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies accused of sharing “unauthorized” crash site photos.

According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, U.S. District Judge John F. Walter rejected the effort of L.A. County lawyers to keep the deputies’ names under seal in the lawsuit. The lawyers argued that releasing the deputies’ names could make them the target of hackers.

The ruling means Bryant’s lawyers can add the deputies’ names — as well as details from the internal affairs investigation into their conduct — to an amended complaint in the suit against the county and the sheriff’s department, according to the Times.
