Brandy Should Be Prosecuted
TMZ reports that the California Highway Patrol is recommending that R & B singer Brandy be prosecuted for her role in the December 2006 traffic accident that resulted in the death of the driver of another car.
The charges recommended by CHP would be misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, as a result of Brandy's negligence, which is different than gross negligence. If found guilty she could face a possible sentence of one year in jail and a $1000 fine.
The case is being turned over to the Los Angeles city attorney's office for review.
Sidenote: If the family of the victim is inclined to file a civil suit for wrongful death against Brandy, it could conceivably result in a major monetary judgement, if she were to be found guilty.
Photos from the accident scene are available at TMZ.
