Caitlyn Jenner wants to make a deal, or at least her lawyers do. The trial date for vehicular manslaughter is coming up and her lawyer Blair Berk is trying to keep Caitlyn from going to jail. Radar Online, August 21, 2015, reported that Blair is talking with the Los Angeles County District Attorney Major Crimes division to get the lightest sentence possible for Caitlyn. The accident goes back to February 2015 when Caitlyn Jenner, who was Bruce Jenner at the time, failed to notice the traffic had slowed and come to a stop until it was too late. She rear-ended the Lexus driven by Kim Howe. The impact sent Kim’s car into a stopped Prius ahead of her, then it pushed the Lexus out onto oncoming traffic. Kim was killed at the scene. According to a police report, Caitlyn is the one responsible and she is the one at fault. If she is found guilty, she could be sentenced to one year in jail and the thought of what may happen causes Caitlyn to burst into tears. …show more content…
The judge will sentence her and the case will be over. However, she wants her lawyers to do everything possible to keep her out of jail because the very thought frightens her. After the vehicular manslaughter trial ends and the sentence is handed down, Caitlyn has two more lawsuits to go. Dana Redmond and William Howe, the stepchildren of deceased Kim Howe, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Caitlyn. The driver of the Prius, Jessica Steindorff filed a personal injury suit against Caitlyn, aka Bruce, of “negligently, carelessly, recklessly, and wantonly drove, managed, maintained, controlled, operated, and entrusted their motor vehicle.” Do you think Caitlyn will receive any jail time? How do you think the other lawsuits of wrongful death and personal injury will turn out? Post your thoughts below in the comments

    In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims.
