Brandy's Charges Drop

No more charges for R&B singer Brandy after the fatal car accident last year.

A spokesperson said there is "insufficient evidence" for a jury to find the 28-year-old singer guilty of misdemeanour vehicular manslaughter beyond a reasonable doubt.

Decemeber 30, 2006 accident :
Brandy was driving on a Los Angeles freeway when her Land Rover smashed into the back of a Honda and was involved in several other collisions. The driver, 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj, died in the accident.
UPDATE :
Brandy’s lawyer has issued a statement to TMZ
"We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by authorities, the Los Angeles City Attorney has determined that Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the accident back in 2006."

She continued, "These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished. However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered."
