SECOND LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST BRANDY IN DEADLY CRASH
LATEST: A second wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against singer BRANDY relating to a December (06) freeway crash in Los Angeles.
The latest lawsuit was filed on behalf of the two sons of the woman who was killed in the crash after Brandy's sports utility vehicle (SUV) struck the back of her car.
AWATEF ABOUDIHAJ, 38, was killed and her two sons, MRWAN MOHAMED, 14, and KAREEM MOHAMED, 10, were injured in the 30 December (06) accident.
The claim alleges that unspecified injuries to the children will likely cause some permanent disability. Damages will be determined at a trial.
On 30 January (07), a $50 million (GBP26 million) lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of her parents, ABOUDIHAJ AHMED and LABRIDI ZOHRA, who reside in Morocco.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's office is still deciding whether or not to charge the singer, real name BRANDY NORWOOD, with misdemeanour vehicular manslaughter.
According to JONATHAN DIAMOND, a spokesman for the City Attorney's office, California Highway Patrol investigators recommended she be charged after completing their investigation.
If convicted, the 28-year-old faces up to a year in prison and a $1,000 (GBP513) fine.

My heart goes out to all involved in this. However, if I were the person who
killed this woman would they be suing me for almost 75 million (both lawsuits
combined)? Uh, think not. It's only because they got lucky with WHO hit her.
They probably didn't even know who Brandy was until their lawyer filled them
in. Wonder what his/her cut is....This should be treated like any other crash
that was an ACCIDENT as the state patrol, etc. have said that it was. Let the
insurance companies settle it like they would have to do if it had been any of
us random people.
