There is a lot going on in California. The Golden State Warriors are on fire. Anthony Davis thinks the Lakers are terrible. The arena will be called theCrypto.com Arena. More people aren't focused on what's happening to Vanessa Bryant.
Kobe Bryant's widow was ordered to turn over her therapy records by a judge as part of her invasion of privacy lawsuit.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva has admitted that he took and shared pictures that were taken.
His argument?
Bryant claims that the photos were never made public and that his emotional distress is based on the loss of life.
On Tuesday, Rolling Stone reported that L.A. Sheriff's deputies shot an ill man with rubber bullets after they used a stun gun on him.
Don't tell me local elections don't matter.
Bryant has been full of ups and downs.
Bryant and her lawyer are being ordered to produce her therapy records by a federal judge. He denied L.A. County's request to force Bryant to take a psych evaluation that would have lasted eight hours.
According to a report from Yahoo Sports, Bryant's attorney labeled the request for therapy records as "bully".
Bryant's attorney wrote that the attempt to bully Bryant into dropping her case was an attempt to prevent her private therapy records from being reported on by the media.
L.A. County's lawyers don't agree.
According to the Miller Barondess firm, when a person puts her mental condition at issue, she opens the door to discover her mental health. The request for the therapy records is not an intimidation tactic, as the person argues, it is a routine part of discovery in emotional distress cases.
If you are reading this, you are probably not a lawyer. The legal system has always been unpredictable, and this case is just another example of how justice is affected by events. Even if L.A. County does win, it won't feel like a victory if they cause more pain for the family of one of America's most famous athletes.
