Prosecutors Split in Brandy Case

BrandyLaw 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."

91. 89. If Brandy pulled in front of this lady out of road rage and because the lady was white, she deserves to go to prison for murder and a racially motivated hate crime. I heard in the news releases after the incident, that Brandy intentionally was upset from getting cut-off earlier in traffic, and pulled right in front of this lady as if on purpose.

94. To Robert: How many deaths are whites responsible for? Let's not forget that the civil rights movement was only a few short decades ago!

Yes the accident was just that...an accident and it could have happened to any of us, but this happened to Brandy and she should be punished!

She apparently did not notice that traffic had slowed and caused a 4 car accident that cost a life!! She was not paying attention and someone died. Someone has to pay for that!!!

If she gets off with a light sentance, then she still has some star power to throw around becasue this is a no-brainer.

97. It happens to be a misdemeanor under California law. It was an accident not murder.

99. It’s about time this story resurfaced. I noticed it was conveniently tucked away for several months and I wondered whatever happened in this matter in light of massive coverage over the Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan et al bad-girl news. The difference between Brandy’s issue and everyone else’s is that someone really is dead! Sure, Paris and her cronies were bad, but their issues focus on the “what ifs” of their actions - at least they have not killed anyone. I say take Brandy down because someone is dead and she needs to pay the consequences. I’ll bet if it was the average Jane Doe from the suburbs who killed someone in a car crash like this, she’d be wearing an orange suit by now.

101. According to this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16793294/ posted earlier:


I repeat Brandy was not on drugs, alcohol, using her cell phone during the accident. She did not leave the scene of the accident. You can read that on msn.com or foxnewsonline.com

102. Either Way, the Family of the Victim can always file Civil "Wrongful Death" suite against her.... Sound Familiar? :P

Posted at 8:45PM on Aug 6th 2007 by Bell

103. "we werent there so we dont know if she left she could of just been scared...."

It is listed in several articles that Brandy did not leave the scene of the accident. The newspaper articles were all written last January.

104. Yes, the family has already filed a wrongful death suit against Brandy, and three more people from the accident are already suing her too. She is going to pay a great financial sum to all of the victims.

105. Brandy is being sued by 4 people now according to SOHH Soulful News: Brandy Hit With 4th Lawsuit Stemming From Car Crash
