Caitlyn Jenner could get manslaughter charge
The Los Angeles Times reports that LA County sheriff’s detectives are presenting prosecutors next week with evidence that points to misdemeanor manslaughter.
The district attorney’s office will ultimately determine whether any charges will be filed against Jenner or if the investigation requires further review.
If convicted, Jenner could face a year in county jail.
Jenner – then still known as Bruce – was at the wheel of a large SUV that collided in Malibu with a smaller white auto that then swerved into oncoming traffic.
Jenner’s attorney Blair Berk declined comment to NBC Los Angeles.
Caitlyn Jenner could be facing a manslaughter charge in connection to a deadly crash.
Jenner was hauling an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind her Cadillac Escalade on February 7 when she steered to keep away from automobiles slowing for a visitors mild in entrance of her on Pacific Coast Freeway.
At the time of the crash, Jenner released a statement calling the accident “a devastating tragedy” and pledged to cooperate with police in their investigation.
Given what the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has just announced, the next phase of Caitlyn Jenner’s new reality show – if there is one – might be shot behind bars. I am praying for them.
The accident happened in February, a few months before Ms Jenner, 65, from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, announced she was transgender.
Investigators say Jenner cause a California highway accident in which a woman was killed. Jenner has filed a counterclaim, saying the relatives do not deserve compensation because they were not dependents at the time of the crash.
The crash began when a Prius stalled in the northbound lanes of PCH and a Lexus, driven by 69-year-old Kimberly Howe, rear ended the Prius.
