For the past few weeks the big news surrounding Caitlyn Jenner has mostly had to do with her big debut on the cover of Vanity Fair.
But there's been a black cloud hanging over Caitlyn's coming out party,
and the Olympian-turned-reality-star-turned-transgender-activist could
soon find herself in some serious legal trouble.
Back in February (when she was still living as Bruce), Jenner was involved in a car crash that claimed one life and injured seven.
Jenner is being sued by the stepchildren of the woman who died, and the civil case might well end up costing him millions.
Worse, however, is the possibility of criminal charges.
Even misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter could carry a penalty of up to a
year in prison, and Radar Online is reporting that the DA's office is
scheduled to conclude its investigation and announce whether it
will press charges against Caitlyn sometime this week.
Legal experts believe Jenner could get off with a slap on the wrist,
but those most familiar with the case say they're troubled with the way
she seems to be ignoring the investigation and hoping it will simply go
away.
“Caitlyn hasn’t sat down with cops to be formally questioned,” one
source says. “Even though drugs and alcohol weren’t involved, Caitlyn is
still responsible for the death, and it will be a misdemeanor charge.
“The fact that Major Crimes is going to be involved could be very
troubling, as it’s the most elite branch of the DA’s office. These are
very seasoned prosecutors that are extremely experienced in handling
high profile cases.”
The insider notes that it's "unlikely" that Caitlyn will be forced to
serve jail time, but adds that some prosecutors like to "make an
example" out of celebrity defendants.
