Vanessa Bryant says she felt "sick" and "extreme sadness and anger" when learning that Los Angeles County sheriff's and fire department personnel had allegedly snapped and shared gruesome photos of the bodies of her late husband and the couple's 13-year-old daughter at the scene of the helicopter crash that killed nine people, according to court papers obtained Tuesday.
