TMZ has reported that the L.A. County D.A. will not charge Caitlyn Jenner with vehicular manslaughter or any other crime in connection with the fatal car crash which took place on February 7th. 

The D.A. has rejected the case, saying she was not speeding, she hit the brakes though belatedly, and her conduct was not "unreasonable" based on all the facts.

Caitlyn was driving inattentively when she slammed into a Lexus, sending the car into oncoming traffic where it struck a Hummer. The Lexus driver died at the scene.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigated the accident for almost 6 months before submitting a 161-page report to the D.A. 

Caitlyn Jenner's lawyer, Blair Berk, told TMZ that, 'We believed from the start that a thorough and objective investigation would clear Caitlyn of any criminal wrongdoing." We are heartened the District Attorney has agreed that even a misdemeanor charge would not be appropriate."

He also goes on, "A traffic accident, however devastating and heartbreaking when a life is lost, is not necessarily a criminal matter."
