Los Angeles prosecutors will now decide if Caitlyn Jenner is to be charged with vehicular manslaughter after she was part of a fatal car crash in February.
LA County sheriff’s detectives passed their findings to prosecutors on Tuesday, August 25, 2015 so they may decide the fate of the ‘I Am Cait’ star, who they allege ‘set off a chain of events’ that resulted in the death of Kim Howe in a multi-car pile up.

Sheriff’s Det. Richard Curry said Caitlyn was driving at a speed which was unsafe when her vehicle, a Cadillac Escalade, shunted Kim Howe’s Lexus from behind.
The collision sent Kim’s car into oncoming traffic and into the path of a Hummer that was coming from the opposite direction.
While Caitlyn was not driving over the speed limit, the sheriff claims she was going too fast for the road conditions that day.
Dmitry Gorin, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: ‘Basically, anyone can get into this situation behind the wheel like Ms. Jenner. There is no drugs or alcohol involved. This is just unsafe driving.
‘I remember a law professor getting charged … If you commit a road infraction that results in a death, that becomes a traffic misdemeanour manslaughter.’

It's been 25 years since Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait

A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq. At the time, however, Bush said standing up to Hussein's Iraq was necessary to protect neighboring Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and the world's largest oil producing country, both then and now. "The sovereign independence of Saudi Arabia is a vital interest to the United States," said Bush, a Republican. O
