Los Angeles prosectors to decide Caitlyn Jenner’s fate

The investigators will present their findings to the district attorney by the end of August in order to ascertain if charges will be made against Jenner.

Sheriff’s Department detective Richard Curry said Jenner was driving at an unsafe speed on February 7 when her Cadillac Escalade rear-ended Kim Howe’s Lexus, sending it into oncoming traffic and leading to the 69-year-old driver’s death.

It could result in Jenner being charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for which the maximum sentence is one year in county jail.

Her attorney, Blair Berk, declined to comment.

The senior citizen died at the scene.

An official report on the incident concluded Caitlyn was driving too fast for road conditions, despite being under the speed limit, and she violated Penal Code section 192(c), which corresponds to misdemeanour vehicular manslaughter law.

Legal experts told the LA Times that a jail term would be unlikely if the charge was brought.

Jenner slammed into the Lexus waiting to move behind the Prius sparking the chain-reaction crash. Howe died from her injuries.

When interviewed by police after the crash, Jenner told them she was being followed by paparazzi but was not trying to evade them.

The crash occurred before Jenner, who was born Bruce Jenner, announced that she is transgender.
