Caitlyn Jenner may be charged with vehicular manslaughter

The headlines during the last part of August, 2015 read, “Caitlyn Jenner may be charged with vehicular manslaughter“.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has completed its investigation into the fatal car crash that involved then Bruce Jenner.  The Sheriff’s Department has issued an 161 page report that finds Jenner “set off a chain of events” that resulted in the death of another motorist on the Pacific Coast Highway in February, 2015.  The basis of this conclusion is that Jenner was traveling at an excessive speed for road conditions.  The Sheriff’s Investigators reached this conclusion despite the fact that Jenner was traveling below the posted speed limit. Jenner apparently encountered stopped or barely moving traffic and slammed into the Lexus to his front.  The Investigators noted that Jenner should have been stopped or hardly moving.  This charge carries with it a maximum penalty of one year in jail and is a misdemeanor not a felony.

This author thinks that Jenner committed an act of simple negligence (carelessness) which should not be elevated to a criminal act involving recklessness.  Jenner has made all the news lately with his conversion from a man to a woman.  Jenner was an olympic gold medalist in the Decathlon and appeared on a number of television shows as a male actor.

At the accident scene, Jenner made a number of mistakes dealing with law enforcement.  Jenner, realizing that he was the prosecution target for a traffic fatality, failed to ask for a lawyer.  Jenner, thinking that going along to get along was his best option worked hard to help the Sheriff’s investigators build a case against him.  Jenner did not understand that his celebrity status might make him a prime target for prosecution.  Jenner made a number of statements which may be used against him.

Best Woodstock Reckless Driving Lawyer: Anyone famous or not can get a traffic charge.  In late April, 2015, Yung Joc, a rapper was stopped for speeding.  In the course of that investigation police learned that Joc did not have a valid license.  His license had been suspended.  Joc ended up being cuffed and placed in jail awaiting bond.

Best Woodstock Reckless Driving Lawyer: Joc has been very successful and was named to the Forbes list of richest rappers.  The nickname Joc comes from  J.R. “Jock” Ewing on Dallas.  Joc’ Mom picked that name as she thought her son would be rich and respected when he grew up.  Joc took the name “Hustlenomics” from his busy high school work life.  Joc was employed at a zoo, a deli and a car wash.

Best Woodstock Reckless Driving Lawyer:  Hopefully Joc understood that he should simply tell law enforcement “I want a Lawyer.  If I am not under arrest please let me go.”  Any discussions that Joc had with law enforcement will be used against him.  Often police officers fail to record interviews.  With no audio of the interview the police officer and the accused may disagree about what was asked and what was said.  With an audio we can hear what was said.  When you simply ask for a lawyer there is nothing to be misremembered or misinterpreted.
