LOS ANGELES, CA – August 20, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives said Thursday that they are ready to present evidence to prosecutors that could result in a misdemeanor manslaughter charge against Caitlyn Jenner for her role in a deadly chain-reaction crash earlier this year along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Detective Richard Curry of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the Los Angeles Times that “Jenner was driving at an unsafe speed on February 7 when her Escalade hit Kim Howe’s car” triggering the deadly crash.

Curry added that Jenner was “‘not’ driving above posted speed limits but was driving at an unsafe speed for conditions” on the day of the crash.

Prosecutors will screen the case next week and decide if they will formally charge Jenner. Most often a single misdemeanor manslaughter charge will carry a sentence of one year in jail.

Jenner’s attorney, Blair Berk, declined to comment on the possibility of charges being filed against his client.

In the six months since the February crash, detectives have reviewed both video footage from an MTA bus and photographs taken by paparazzi who cooperated with authorities in the investigation.
