Brandy almost off the hook
 Will lady luck smile on Brandy? Well any day now the R&B diva could find herself off the hook as time is winding down the the L.A. City Attorney's Office to file criminal charges against Brandy, who was involved in a multiple car crash that killed Awatef Aboudihaj, the mother of two boys. The first anniversary of the accident, December 30, is fast approaching, but Brandy has not been charged.
According to TMZ the City Attorney's Office plans to make a decision at the very last moment. If charges aren't filed, chances are the public wouldn't notice over the holidays and the case would quietly go away.
The website had an exclusive chat with Bill Sayed, lawyer for the victim's husband, Marouane Hdidou. Sayed 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 was 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.

the bottom line is that someone is still dead, right? it's unfortunate and it's sad, but it can't be undone. nobody's saying brandy planned to commit vehicular manslaughter, but the reality is that it happened. you can't change the facts; you just have to make amends. justice in this case shouldn't be complicated. brandy and her insurance should compensate the family. brandy's legions of fans are looking at her and still seeing moesha... people support her and want her to do the right thing. if her publicists and lawyers are smart they'd advise her to compensate the family then spin it into a humanitarian sympathy thing.

That's fine but, a life is worth more than money, not that it doesn't help. But they are probably looking at the long term implications for everyone concerned, not just Brandy but the husband and kids involved.
Plus we don't know if she hasn't already done that. We are not directly involved and the media only tells us what it wants us to know, so they can manipulate our thinking. Think about it how many people in the lime light can you think of that, that has happened to both black and white Mmmm food for thought!!
What if you or I was rich and famous how would you want it to happen. I know I would be doing all I can to see the family were fine but I wouldn't want it in the papers or anywhere else but it wouldn't mean I am trying to vinidicate myself of anything. Just me being human.
