Caitlyn Jenner Could Face Manslaughter Charge in Deadly Malibu Crash

Caitlyn Jenner could be charged with manslaughter following her car accident in Malibu earlier this year that left one dead.

“The case will be submitted to the district attorney next week,” said Lt. Shaun Mathers of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Detectives have completed their six-month investigation and are set to present evidence to the prosecution that could lead to a misdemeanor manslaughter charge against the “I Am Cait” star. Because there’s “nothing really egregious” in the case, Det. Richard Curry of the Sheriff’s Dept. said there’s a “50/50” chance that she will be charged.

A misdemeanor manslaughter charge usually carries a one-year jail sentence.

Jenner, who was named Bruce at the time, was driving down Pacific Coast Highway on February 7 at an unsafe speed when her Escalade hit another vehicle, causing a chain-reaction crash. Det. Curry said Jenner’s violation of the vehicular manslaughter law ultimately led to a death.

“My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident,” Jenner said in a statement released a day after the accident. “It is a devastating tragedy, and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible.”

Although Jenner was not speeding, she was driving too fast for the day’s road conditions.

According to authorities, Kim Howe’s Lexus rear-ended Jessica Steindorff’s Toyota Prius, causing Jenner’s Escalade to rear-end Howe’s car, pushing it into oncoming traffic near Corral Canyon Road. A Hummer then struck Howe’s car head-on, causing her to die at the scene.

Steindorff and Howe’s family separately sued Jenner, claiming that her negligence was to blame for the crash. Steindorff alleges that she suffered more than $25,000 in damages.

Detectives will also present evidence to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office against Steindorff, as she was driving on a suspended license at the time.

Um...why do y'all hate Cait so much? :awkney: 

My best wishes go to the family and Caitlyn's family as well. 

EDIT: Wait...so a Lexus rear-ended a car that rear-ended Caitlyn, making her car hit Howe's car (knocking it into traffic) and a hummer took out Howe's car, killing her...in what way is Caitlyn at fault here? Shouldn't the Lexus driver be charged for setting it off or the hummer driver being the one to hit the car killing the woman? :confused: 

Whimsical bitch

"Jessica Steindorff, 29, was driving her Toyota Prius to a meeting in Zuma Beach, said her attorney, Robert Simon. She came to a stop on PCH. She later told police it was because traffic was backed up from a red light.

Howe was following the Prius in her Lexus. Bruce Jenner was following the Lexus in a Cadillac Escalade, towing a trailer with an off-road vehicle.

An initial account of the accident said the Lexus rear-ended the Prius, then Jenner rear-ended the Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic, where it crashed with Millesi's Hummer.

On Wednesday, Simon said Steindorff's Prius was hit by Jenner’s Escalade -- and not Howe's Lexus as first described.

After the Lexus was pushed into oncoming traffic, where it was struck by the Hummer, Jenner’s SUV continued on and hit Steindorff’s car, Simon said."

No, wrong.

Jenner's Escalade was following TOO CLOSE, like only 1 second, which is dangerous when towing an ATV. Cait should have followed another car by at least 5 seconds when towing, then she can stop on time when traffic slow down.
