Sheriff: Caitlyn Jenner Guilty of Manslaughter

Based on that criteria, the investigation could potentially result in a misdemeanor manslaughter charge, against Jenner, law-enforcement sources said. “Richard Curry of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department”.

At the time of the accident, Jenner was hauling an off-road vehicle on a trailer when she steered to avoid cars slowing down due to traffic, the Associated Press reported.

Investigators discovered that Jenner was driving “unsafe for the prevailing street circumstances” as a result of her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming visitors, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Division spokeswoman Nicole Nishida stated.

“Jenner’s case is going to go to the district attorney next week to see if it is worthy of a misdemeanor violation for involuntary manslaughter”, Det.

If convicted, Jenner faces up to one year in prison.

Blair Berk, Jenner’s attorney, declined to comment on the presentation of the evidence. She was killed February 7, 2015, in a crash involving Bruce Jenner. Gorin said the most anyone usually faces for the misdemeanor offense is a year in jail, fines and driver privilege restrictions.

The duo, who allegedly “had virtually no relationship” with their stepmother, accused Caitlyn of being “careless and negligent” and of speeding when the accident happened. Jenner caused the crash by driving too fast and rear-ending a near stationary vehicle in front, which sent it spinning into incoming traffic. It’s a devastating tragedy and I can not pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time.

But it was through marriage to the former Kris Kardashian that Jenner once again became a household name with the reality TV series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians“, appearing as the sometimes bemused stepfather of her flamboyant daughters. I am praying for them. The crash claimed the life of Kim Howe who was 69-years-old.

Jessica Steindorff, the owner of the Toyota Prius also involved in the multiple collision, and Howe’s two stepchildren, Dana Redmond and William Howe, are seeking damages as well as compensation for Howe’s death.
