Prosecutors Split in Brandy Case

Posted Aug 6th 2007 1:11PM by TMZ Staff

Brandy Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that officials in the Los Angeles City Attorney's office are split over whether to prosecute Brandy for a fatal car accident last December.

Brandy's Range Rover rear-ended a car, triggering a multi-car accident, which resulted in the death of a 38-year-old woman. One source says there was a "conflict" in the City Attorney's office over whether Brandy should be prosecuted at all. The charge on the table, we're told, is misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.

We're told prosecutors are waiting on technical data that will measure the speed of Brandy's vehicle on impact. The data will help prosecutors determine if the singer tried to brake before impact. The tests are being conducted by a London based firm.

When the results are returned, the City Attorney will make a decision. One source says, "At this point it could go either way."

197. First of all, Right is Right & Wrong is Wrong, & When you do something wrong(such as killing someone, b/c you & you're significant other had a falling out.) You have to pay the consequences for your actions, accident or not. I mean how can anyone think that she should get off scot-free. I think people should look at it from the victim's family side, I mean how would you feel if you're Mom, Sister, Daughter, Wife & Friend was fatally killed in an car accident? Also how would you want this situation handled her being a celebrity or not? I am or was a fan of Brandy's but I just feel like justice needs to be served, & I feel like we're living in a society where it's okay if you commit crimes as long as you have money or if you're rich & famous it's okay. & To me that is not Justice she needs to woman-up & face the consequences for her wrongful actions.

199. If they can't make a decision!!!!! Why they do not turn the case over the attorney general office?

200. What's selfish and dumb, Sara, is being reckless and causing injury and death and then not wanting to pay!!!

Y would someone want to be hurt in an accident, possibly not be able to work, then be caught up in time consuming and costly litigation for months?

Heaven forbid something like this happened to you and yours, u uncompassionate witch, let's see how fast your hand would be out.

205. Is it me or are comments being deleted? My last remark was addressed to # 208, who has now become # 207. Very odd. To make my comment clear, SHE WAS NOT ON A CELL PHONE.

206. I swear the people in here are total retards. If u were not there, then u know nothing except what is in print or reported in the media. Damn it read first!

Stop making assumptions that make absolutely no sense!

Proof read before u post!

If u make a spelling error acknowledge it with (sp).

Construct proper sentences. ( I swear some of u guys did not graduate high school)

And for everyone in here who is soo concerned with Brandy, where is your concern for the folks with wrecked cars, broken bodies and deceased family members all because of this no driving reckless B I T C H?!

208. I think Brandy is a great entertainer. Love her music. Enjoy her acting. Hate this has happened to her but she has to accept the consequences for her actions. We can't excuse it just because we like her. People died because of possible negligence on her part. She is going to have to deal with the issues.

209. it was an accident!!!!!! yes it is tragic... but it was an accident,,, this is a civil wrongful death case,,, the victims deserve $$$$$$$$

Brandy is Not a criminal

210. speeding is not an accident. tailgating is not an accident. not watching the road is not an accident. they are all reckless acts. 5 years minimum, the family of the lady she killed deserve at least that, and all brandy's money too.
