| Brandy Sued For $50 Million From Fatal Car Crash |
The Gossip Girls reported a couple of days ago that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was recommending that Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Despite the fact that no charges have been filed-to-date, Brandy was just hit with a legal bombshell. The parents of the woman that Brandy killed in the car accident are now suing the singer for $50 million.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday morning in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Lawyers for the deceased claim, “Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly.”
Brandy being sued in civil court does not come as a surprise. Regardless of whether or not Brandy is ever receives any criminal charges, she can still be sued in civil court and lose. Civil court does not require “beyond a reasonable doubt” like a criminal court. The best celebrity example of this is O.J. Simpson. Despite being found innocent on all criminal charges, he was still struck down with a $30 million civil suit from the Goldman family (rightfully so).
This is a tough situation for everyone involved. Brandy killed someone is a car accident and has to live with that, and a family lost their daughter that they will never see again. This story will continue to develop over the next couple of months, so keep checking back for updates. |
