Brandy Has A Happy New Year, As L.A. Prosecutors Back Down From Filing Criminal Charges

A string of failures, in prosecuting celebrities has led the Los Angeles District Attorney to not prosecute Black Pop Singer/TV Actress Brandy, of vehicular manslaughter. This week is the one year anniversary of the deadly car crash and the Los Angeles city attorney had exactly one year to bring formal charges.

The official reason given is "insufficient evidence". But we all know that the DA's office is running scared and not trying to embarrass themselves with another loss in a high profile trial any time soon.


Brandy Norwood, the singer/actress better known as simply Brandy, will not be charged for the death of a 38-year-woman who was part of a 4-car crash initiated by Norwood in December 2006.

O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Paris Hilton getting out early, Nicole Richie does one day of jail, and Phil Spector gets a hung jury. It really has not been a great time for high visibility court cases for the LA District Attorney. For this reason alone they just had to stay away from the "marginal" case against Brandy.
Had the charges not been dropped, Norwood, 28, would have faced up to a year in jail time and a $1,000 fine.

Still, the family of the victim, Awatef Aboudihaj, is suing Norwood for $50 million, claiming wrongful death. Aboudihaj crashed into Norwood’s already crashed Land Rover and was then broadsided by another vehicle.

Alcohol, drugs and a cell phone have all been ruled out as distractions that may have caused Norwood’s initial crash.

Norwood was “extremely pleased,” she would not be charged for the death.

Black Singer Brandy: Gets Out of Jail Free on Manslaughter???

Last year, December 30th, a year ago, singer Brandy killed a woman, Awatef Aboudihaj, in a car crash. Yet with the Holiday Season now upon us, the only one who is seemingly thinking about this event or feeling any pain is Awatef's husband and the two boys she left behind.

We have heard nothing from the L.A. City Attorney's Office to file criminal charges against R&B singer Brandy. Happy Diwali, Great Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Righteous Kwanzaa, Happy New Years. Life goes on. It's just that simple. Or is it? Check out this clip:

Isn't there a statue of limitations. If after a year no charges are filed, doesn't this just go away over the holidays? It's a get out of jail card right? Hey you "legal eagles" out there write me back and set me straight, if I'm wrong.

Bill Sayed, lawyer for the victim's husband, Marouane Hdidou, questioned the delay, saying, "There is a death and obviously reckless driving involved, which is enough evidence for an involuntary manslaughter charge. As to why the City Attorney has taken this long? I think we would all like to know."

Over the past year, Brandy has pursued her usual activities; shopping, partying and living a normal life. Sayed says, "Brandy continues to live life with really no negative results ... doing what Brandy is doing ... as if though nothing has occurred here." He also describes how life has become a roller coaster for his client. "Thanksgiving just passed and he and the boys were all alone -- he has no family here."

On December 30, 2006, around 10:30AM, Brandy was driving her brand new Range Rover northbound on the 405 Freeway at about 65 mph -- and didn't notice when traffic in front of her slowed down. She then hit Awatef Aboudijah's car, which veered to the left and was hit by another vehicle before crashing into the center divider. Awatef died at the hospital eight hours later, from massive internal bleeding.

Thank you TMZ for reminding us.
