Kobe Bryant Pilot's Family Wants Crash Case Moved Out of L.A., It's Unfair

The family of Ara Zobayan is begging a judge to move Vanessa Bryant's wrongful death case out of L.A. because Kobe Bryant is so popular there, it would be impossible to get a fair trial.

Ara's family spelled it out in new court docs, obtained by... saying the trial would begin with"two strikes" already against him"due to the extreme level of popularity of plaintiff with the jury pool."

Of course, Kobe Bryant played his entire 20-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers -- and became an icon in the city. "No other single individual in recent memory, sports figure or otherwise, has been considered by the people to be such a personification of their city of Los Angeles." The Zobayan family also notes Kobe and all of the passengers lived in Orange County -- another reason the case should be moved.
