Vanessa Bryant flanked by daughter, famous friends at Los Angeles court as federal trial nears two weeks

FOX News correspondent Jeff Paul joins 'Special Report' with the latest from Los Angeles.

Vanessa Bryant, the widow of basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, was flanked by famous friends and one of her daughters in court on Monday, as the trial against the Los Angeles County for its invasion of her family’s privacy nears its second week. 

Bryant, 40, entered the California courthouse on Monday morning with her 19-year-old daughter, Natalia Diamante Bryant, and musician friends Ciara and Monica, according to photographs obtained by People. 

The court heard testimony on Monday from Los Angeles County Fire Department and Sheriffs’ Office executives, according to a report from Law & Crime.

The widow’s invasion of privacy trial against Los Angeles County began on August 10, when her attorney, Luis Li, told the jury the cellphone photos shot at the crash scene by a deputy and a fire captain were "visual gossip" viewed "for a laugh," and had no official purpose.

"They were shared by deputies playing video games," Li said. "They were shared repeatedly with people who had absolutely no reason to receive them."

An attorney for the county defended the taking of the photos as an essential tool for first-responders seeking to share information when they thought they might still save lives at the chaotic, dangerous and hard-to-reach crash scene in the Calabasas hills west of Los Angeles.

"Site photography is essential," county lawyer J. Mira Hashmall said.
