On the
44th anniversary
of the birth of NBA
legend Kobe Bryant,
an attorney for his widow.
Vanessa, asked
a jury
in federal court here Tuesday to deliver justice on behalf of him and
his daughter more than two years after their deaths
.
This was
the 10th
day of Vanessa
Bryant’s civil trial against
Los Angeles County
,
Another day of tears for her and the final day of testimony after hearing from dozens of witnesses.
It was also the
first day of closing arguments and the first time
an attorney in the case put
a dollar amount.
He wants
the jury to
award Bryant and Chris Chester, her fellow plaintiff
at this trial:
$75 million.
Chester’s attorney, Jerome Jackson, asked for up to $2.5 million each for their past 2.5 years of emotional distress.
“When I reach this point of closing arguments, I’m usually anxious about not asking for too much,”
Jackson told the jury in closing arguments.
“I don’t have that anxiety today,
because I will tell you ladies and gentlemen, you can’t award
too much money for what they went through.
