"Laura Bush "
I was talking about Matthew Broderick. He was not only Matthew Broderick when the accident happened, he was also Ferris Bueller. Killing a woman didn't seem to stop his career.

So if you killed someone a long time ago, it makes it less serious? Some of us manage to get through our entire lives NEVER killing anyone, But if you have killed someone if enough time passes it's almost as if you never killed anyone at all (Someone alert OJ)! I wonder if the family of the woman who was killed sees it that way?
Where the hell did I say that? I said you can't compare the two..meaning
A.
Laura Bush was not Laura Bush when the accident happened. She was a 17 year old high school girl.
B.
Civil Suits were not the norm 45 years ago (at least not to the degree they are now.)
C.
I don't know what the vehicular manslaughter charges were like 45 years ago, do you?
Keep trying to read into it thoughits working wonders.

Laura Bushs' accident was 45 years ago.I really don't know how that can be compared to anything that has happened today. And Matthew Brodericks happened over 20 years ago in another countryagain, apples and oranges.

I have no sympathy for either of these idiots. Vehicular homicide is what it is. But I think Broderick's happened in Ireland so Americans wouldn't know about it as closely, plus his more likable image in his earlier movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Brighton Beach Memoirs may have something to do with his popularity being intact.
RAAAMOOOOOONE! GET IN HERE AND CLEAN UP THIS MISCARRIAGE!

You guys have heard of Matthew Broderick though, right?

i was thinking the same thing rebecca got off brandy should get off , i am so sorry for the familly but it could have happen too any of us

There will not be a diffference in the outcome of this case. Brandy will get off; although she shouldn't and neither should have Rebecca, but Brandy will get off.

The Gayheart accident, the person that got hit was jaywalkingILLEGALLY. The person Brandy killed was following the laws of the road. Just because your black, doesn't mean you should be free of punishment for your screw ups.

Rebecca Gayheart ran over a kid and got nothing.
This is completely untrue. She was convicted and the family filed a wrongful deathsuit. The settlemen5b4t was not disclosed.
Not so much nothing.

"If that was valid, then if someone pushed another in front of a moving train it wouldn't totally be their fault because they didn't actually strike the person and kill them. Yeah, right."
That's murder, not manslaughter. She didn't purpose push her car into another lane. Also the other car was still traveling at a high speed, even though the traffic had slowed down.
FREEDOM!

bjorkpluto, your way of thinking makes no sense.
"Brandy was not the actual person that hit the woman's car that died. So I don't think Brandy should do any jail time."
If that was valid, then if someone pushed another in front of a moving train it wouldn't totally be their fault because they didn't actually strike the person and kill them. Yeah, right.

Buford Davis: I don't know. The general discussion of this whole incident is going nowhere fast. I'm not even gonna bother explaining myself here.
Continue on folks.

The white media are definitely going hard after Brandy because she's young, black, rich, and famous. The dead woman's family definitely look greedy suing Brandy for $50 million dollars which they will never get that large sum of money. Because appeals could go on forever. Rebecca Gayheart ran over a kid and got nothing. Brandy was not the actual person that hit the woman's car that died. So I don't think Brandy should do any jail time. Hopefully Brandy can pay the family off and make them disappear.

well "race card" or not, im gonna spray my opinion, it is because she is black, rich and famous, trying to make an example of her, and its not fair, no sense of justice in this at all, brandy hasnt done any intentionaly wrong, it was an ACCIDENT! plain and simple, my neighbour died the same way a few years ago and there was no conviction nor fine, as it was an ACCIDENT, in which she shows remorse for what happened

I have no idea who Gayheart is but in her case the victim was jaywalking, so yes there was negligence on her part, but the victim also put himself at risk.
well, as far as i know you can't blame a child for not following the traffic rules. as the driver you have to watch out for kids (and old people i believe?) no matter if they jaywalk or walk at red light.
anyways, that's not the subject here.
i doubt it has something to do with her colour, so stop talking about it. it's kinda silly.

"bjorkpluto - What's the difference between the Rebecca Gayheart and Brandy incident? Brandy's car did not actually hit the woman that died. But Rebecca Gayheart sure knocked the hispanic kid with her car. Gayheart's episode with the law wasn't blown up in the press. I sure hope Brandy has a good lawyer and she fights this. Because her car did NOT actually strike the person that died. Its so typical of Hollywood as well, I believe Brandy was just in a very unfortunate accident. But Rebecca Gayheart killed that hispanic kid but since she's a white actress she gets Hollywood sympathy. "
eraccording to every news report Brandy's car struck the victim's vehicle from behind, causing it to crash into the car in front of it and then move on to the next lane into oncoming traffic. This cause a head on collision with an oncoming vehicle which killed the victim.
So which part of this have we missed where Brandy did not strike the victim?
I have no idea who Ga2000yheart is but in her case the victim was jaywalking, so yes there was negligence on her part, but the victim also put himself at risk. It's like if Brandy was driving at 65mph according to the speed limit and someone cuts into her lane without warning and she can't stop in time and they crash. Yeah, I'd feel sorry for her because it's not all her fault.
But the key difference here is that the victim in Brandy's case was driving normally. Stopped. And Brandy was negligent and failed to notice the traffic movement and slammed into the victim's back.
Stop trying to play the race card or bend the truth.

JVon, the reason why many points are dismissed when race is mentioned is because any time a black person is involved in anything, the race card is pulled. I'm black and I am so sick of this damn "race card;" It's brought up in EVERYTHING!
