Manslaughter charges recommended for Caitlyn Jenner

[Urethra Franklin]

Well, this isn't so good:

If convicted, she could face up to a year in prison.

Distracted driving is a helluva thing. I'm kinda shocked that there isn't heavier legislation against it.

[Gravedigger's Biscuits]

Only a year in prison for manslaughter? That doesn't seem right.

Celebrity bias at work again?

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

a year in DA PEN... All those injuries because someone was driving like a moron. Shit, man, bring on the self-driving cars.

[Hit Girl]

Deserves more

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

The defense: No. BRUCE Jenner rear ended a Lexus.

How dare they consider doing this to A NATIONAL HERO?!?!?!?!? The greatest hero America has ever seen, judging by how people reacted earlier this year.

*rolls eyes*

Not at all. Cali. penal code has multiple different manslaughter offense and this is probably the lightest one. In fact this is dann near the text book example of it.

I always thought 'manslaughter' sounded way worse than 'murder'. They should switch them.

I think Seinfeld even did a routine on it.

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

Who's gonna be the first to make a very 1970s joke about female drivers in reference to this?

She's probably helped a lot of people by just being a publically visible figure. This issue she's dealing with aside, bringing light to violence against transgender people is not eyeroll worthy.

I can already see the twitter jokes. Womanslaughter and so forth.

There's a way in here somewhere to plug my comics based on the fact one of them has a villain named Manslaughter who turns men into women. Just need to find it.

Oh, wait, I did find it.

No one, I'd hope.

I don't know about Seinfeld but Brian Regan has a bit about manslaughter.

[Hit Girl]

E! will be happy. This will provide a goldmine of programming for them.

I searched her name and instantly regretted it, just wave after wave of stupid jokes and petty misgendering. Oh well, curiosity killed the erm.. faith in the human species.

I don't think there's necssarily celebrity bias at play, though I'm sure having a great lawyer goes a long way. A year in prison seems light for a celebrity, but to someone who actually has to be at work 5 days a week at a regular job, a year would be very detrimental to their livelihood.

You know what, I think you're right.

I got my comedians mixed up.

She's also in a position where she can be filmed as part of a personal atonement/redemption story. Just tune in to E! and stay tuned for Total Divas.

That "he" is a typo, right?
