Anthony Marrone testified that he did not exclusively order then-firefighter Brian Jordan to take photos at the January 2020 crash scene, but was not surprised to learn that he did:
The ninth day of trial for Vanessa Bryant and Chris Chester's combined lawsuits alleging negligence and invasion of privacy for the taking and sharing of accident scene photos saw county sheriff's and fire personnel called to the stand to discuss the investigation into the pictures and their deletion.
Also Monday, sheriff's commander William Jaeger testified about the department's internal investigation of the photos.Called as a defense witness, Marrone told the jury that the fire department uses photography at accident and fire scenes"for documentation. They can be more accurate than what you can remember."
Friday, Vanessa Bryant testified that she felt betrayed to learn first responders had taken personal photos of the crash, and said she lives in fear of the images surfacing. Villanueva, who also testified Friday, said that upon hearing from a private citizen three days after the crash that Deputy Joey Cruz had shared images from his cell phone at a bar in Norwalk, he immediately called for an inquiry at the Malibu/Lost Hills sheriff's station where the responding deputies were assigned.
Asked by a plaintiffs' attorney if the department had ever considered going to the victims' families and telling them about the photos before the media reported the story, Villanueva said the breaking news story derailed his plans to do just that.
