In her deposition, Vanessa said: "The impact of the helicopter crash was so damaging, I just don't understand how someone can have no regard for life and compassion, and, instead, choose to take that opportunity to photograph lifeless and helpless individuals for their own sick amusement."
Kobe and Gianna were survived by Vanessa and her three other children
The county are fighting and disputing Vanessa's claims that "the photograph-related actions or inactions proximately caused the allegedly severe and continuing emotional distress for which [Vanessa] seeks monetary compensation."
The trial is scheduled for 22 February 2022, and Vanessa must turn over her therapy records by 29 November 2021.
