This just in: R&B songstress Brandy will not be charged with vehicular manslaughter following the fatal car accident she was in last year.
Spokesman Nick Velasquez said there was “insufficient evidence” for a jury to find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
As you may recall, back on December 30, 2006, Brandy struck another vehicle from behind on an L.A. freeway, while driving her 2007 Land Rover at 65 mph, causing a chain reaction involving a total of four vehicles, including hers. Awatef Aboudihaj, a married mother of two, died in the accident.
No surprise here. Another celeb gets away with murder.
Hyde, anyone?
UPDATE: Brandy’s lawyer has issued a statement to TMZ: “We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by authorities, the Los Angeles City Attorney has determined that Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the accident back in 2006.
“These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished. However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered.”
