Sheriffs investigators in Los Angeles plan to push for Caitlyn Jenner to be charged with manslaughter. Kim Howe, 69, lost her life last February in a car accident, which the transgender star was the cause of.
In my opinion, I think no matter how popular you are or how much money you have, you arent above the law. In a perfect world that is how it would be, but Jenner will never see one day of the inside of any jail. Too much celebrity and fame to be put behind bars. She/he might be charged, and even convicted, but never go to jail.
Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida says investigators found that Jenner was driving unsafe for the prevailing road conditions because her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic.
The fatal crash occurred months before Caitlyn Jenners transition. She was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion and Kim Kardashians stepfather.
Jenner was hauling an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind her Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when she steered to avoid cars slowing for a traffic light in front of her on Pacific Coast Highway.
Jenners SUV rear-ended two cars, pushing a Lexus into oncoming traffic.
The Lexus driver, 69-year-old Kim Howe, was killed when her car was struck head-on by a Hummer.
The case will be presented to prosecutors for final review next week, Nishida said. The district attorneys office will determine what charges Jenner ultimately faces.
If convicted of such a charge, Jenner could face up to one year in county jail.
Jenners attorney Blair Berk to declined comment.
When youre behind the wheel, especially one with a heavy trailer, and youre not safely driving and paying attention at a short distance, its totally your fault when you kill someone.
Take away all the glamor and T.V. shows for just a minute, and pretend Jenner is a everyday civilian. The public would be outraged that someone killed another person because of driving too fast and not paying attention. Everyone would be pushing for longer than a year in jail, BUT it is Call Me Cait, so lets show this brave hero some love and give her a break.
First of all, this is no hero by any standards, and if anything, Jenner should be made an example out of. Showing no one is above the law and treated equal. Hopefully the Call Me Cait show is taken off the air and he/she goes to jail.
He is still Bruce Jenner. Becoming a drag queen with poofy hair who accessorizes well does not make him a woman.
His very public transition may well have been his lawyer’s idea. Not the transition, but the publicity surrounding it.
Smart lawyer.
It was always a joke in law school that in California, there is a permissible judicial verdict “Not guilty by reason of fame.”
It worked for Michael Jackson, and combined with an incredibly inept prosecution, worked for O.J. in his California criminal trial.
It DID NOT work for O.J. in Nevada! :)
Stand by for another media/legal freak show......the twists and turns that come from this will astound us all I am sure.
Depends on what your definition of “woman”, is.
Love IT!
Best headline of the week.
He/she/it’s defense will be because he/she/it wasn’t used to shaving down there and the re-growth began to itch, which was different than the normal male ball scratching. Therefore he/she/it can use the insanity defense because that was driving he/she/it crazy!
“... I think no matter how popular you are or how much money you have, you arent above the law.” See clinton crimes.
Most excellent!
Bruce is going to be very popular in the men’s prison. “You got some purrrrty lips”
Bruce/Cait could be sentenced to some interesting community service.
Don’t tell Laz.
Any way you slice it, pun intended, he's still a man.
Mutilating your body does not change your DNA (sex).
Toss his dumb azz in L.A. County Jail, that'll teach him!
I get sick of these people saying this idiot is a she..It is a man he still has his man parts the whole nine yards..It cannot have a baby..All Jenner did is get face surgery,boob job and no telling what else..Only God can change the sex..
The joker got jealous because all the women got the attention and more money.Your fifteen minutes are up BRUCIE..
Who goes about seeing to their own hedonistic “life as usual” when they are responsible for the death of someone? How does this “it” do it?
More shoddy journalism...the entire story is written as if a woman rear ended a car. It was a man named Bruce who was driving. A freak show gender change, after the fact, doesn’t alter the facts of the crash. HE hit the Lexus.
“frozen vegetables”?...........................
As far as I know....he’s still got OO.
..formerly known as Mr. Decathalon, formerly known as Big Man On Campus, formerly known as Mrs. Jenner's little boy, Bruce. But, now, because he has taken a role as a more feminine MAN, I have to use female pronouns when referring to Bruce? Bruce Jenner's Dog, Indeed..
You know the nutcase was probably looking in the mirror putting on lipstick saying “I’m a woman! ha ha! I’m a woman!” right before the crash.
