From TMZ:
' Black civil rights leaders in Los Angeles claim the California Highway Patrol has made singer/actress Brandy "a political trophy."
The Los Angeles City Attorney is deciding whether to file misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges against Brandy, whose Land Rover slammed into a Toyota on the 405 Freeway killing the driver.
Today, Najee Ali, leader of Project Islamic HOPE, said the CHP's recommendation to file charges against the singer "is unfairly targeting her for prosecution because of her celebrity." Ali told TMZ he is organizing an e-mail campaign in the African American community to put pressure on City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo to reject the case.
Delgadillo says "We will treat this case like every other case and treat it very seriously because someone died." '
Um, excuse me? Reject the case because she's a celebrity? What is this, the Vince Neil loophole? Does she think she's getting PUNK'D again? She's not even much of a celebrity anymore. Wasn't there a very special episode of Moesha where the lesson was to take responsibility for your actions?
