RIP Kobe Bryant

[poindexter]

The sheriff's deputies and firefighters who thought they'd come into some small amount of wealth from taking crash scene photos and selling them to TMZ/National Enquirer/OK! &c. are the ghouls.

I don't think the asshole first responders were profiteering. I think the asshole first responders were assholes showing the pics at the bar, sending to friends. If someone has other info that contradicts, please post.

Regardless, the ghoul first responders weren't punished. One retired early due to stress. Probably took his Calpers annual pension from $110k to $120k per annum with a disability kicker. LA County taxpayers left holding the bag.

Editorial: He spent 38 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. It's a stain on our justice system

How do we compensate a person for being so misused by our justice system? How do we compare the debt for wrongful imprisonment to, say, the $1.2 million the county approved to settle the Aceves Jimenez case, or the nearly $29 million settlement with Kobe Bryant's survivors for the horrendous but still lesser harm of county personnel circulating photos of the remains of the basketball legend and other victims in the helicopter crash?

How dare you. Can't someone please think about Ms. Bryant?
