Brandy, Not Charged in Fatal Crash

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The Los Angeles city attorney's office said Friday it will not charge Brandy in a deadly December 2006 freeway crash.

Brandy

Brandy was involved in a fatal accident in December 2006.

Spokesman Nick Velasquez said there is "insufficient evidence" for a jury to find the 28-year-old actress-singer guilty of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter beyond a reasonable doubt.

The decision runs counter to a recommendation from the California Highway Patrol that Brandy, whose real name is Brandy Norwood, be charged in the December 30, 2006, crash.

Brandy was driving on a Los Angeles freeway when traffic slowed and her Land Rover smashed into the back of a Honda.

That car was involved in several other collisions. The driver, 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj, died in the accident.source

I KNOW Brandy's sleeping a lot better these days!
And I know a prayer warrior who was on the battlefield interceding for her baby Brandy-my aunt Ida.
Aunt Ida lives in ...well, I won't give the town but it's a rural town in Mississippi.
(no , I won't narrow it down!)
My aunt Ida has the faith of ...goodness, well she has the faith of Abraham.


She's my great aunt, and she's in her 80's and is the most soft spoken woman I've ever come across, except when she's praying!
Then a whole 'nother Aunt Ida comes out!
When I visited my aunty last year (my 1st visit to MS), she broke out with family albums and pointed out a young lady.
I'm like "yeah, ok."
She said, "that's your cuz Brandy."
Well, upon closer inspection it was Brandy, Brandy Norwood.
I heard she was part of my family, but had no evidence.
We had a new addition to the family this year- my cuz British (I LOVE HER NAME!) became a mom, and there's pics of Brandy w/British's baby-I cannot remember her child's name-we haven't seen Brit's baby yet :(
I said all of that to say this:
I don't care what a prophelying, prosperity preachin', candle making, gift selling, silver tongued pimp/pimptress talking, snake oil selling wanna be in the name of Jesus is prostituting.
NOTHING, and I MEAN NOTHING, will bring you closer to Christ than believing the word of God, applying the word to your life, and executing faith.
I KNOW Aunt Ida wailed, beseeched, pleaded and asked God for favor for Brandy.
I know she didn't waiver in her faith--Aunt Ida had too much peace!
My quiet aunty, with enough faith to tell Mt. Everest to "GET OUT OF HER WAY"
PRAYED & BELIEVED.
She didn't buy a prayer.
She didn't sow a seed in exchange for a blessing.
She did it the old fashioned way.
She went before the throne of Grace through Jesus...ALONE!

"...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6b)
Notice, the scripture didn't say to come to Father God through Eddie Long, Dollar, White (insert name of person who is falsely teaching the Bible here) or by sowing a seed of faith.
No-just come by "me"-"me" being Jesus Christ.
He alone is worthy.
That is what aunt Ida did.
Am I saying Aunt Ida got Brandy off the hook?
Of course not-but I do know God's word says the
"...effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man, availeth much." (James 5:16b)
I know Aunt Ida is NOT surprised ONE BIT, by the outcome of this situation.
Her faith is like the acacia (shittim)tree (Ex. 25:23)...it doesn't rot.
Ever.
Keeping it real, I thought Brandy was going to get probation, to say the least.
smh
But God.
May we all come to a place of maturity like that of Abraham, my aunt Ida and all of the wonderful seasoned saints who know the power of God and isn't easily moved by circumstances!

And I know the heavens (and our family) will rejoice when Ray J gets over his...his...alternative career in "movies."

I mean his last CD was great! I don't understand why he took 4 steps backwards. Im sure people said the same thing about me...thank God for Bigma...another prayer warrior (may she r.i.p)!
I'm not worried...aunt Ida's praying for him too...and trust...so am I!

13 year-oldStudent Safe After Running Away with Teacher to Mexico

Lexington Teacher Booked Into U.S. Jail
FBI Agents Find Nebraska Teacher, Student In Mexico

OMAHA, Neb. -- A Lexington junior high school teacher was back in the United States Saturday afternoon after FBI agents from San Diego took her to the Imperial County Jail in El Centro, Calif.

Kelsey Peterson was found with her 13-year-old student in Mexico on Friday night. The minor was released to his relatives in Mexico, ABC reported.
Peterson is accused of having a sexual relationship with the boy. Peterson was a sixth-grade math teacher and basketball coach at Lexington Middle School. The boy is an eighth-grade student at the school.

U.S. Attorney Joe Stecher said Peterson's vehicle entered Mexico this week.
"We do know the vehicle she was traveling in did cross the border. We know that because the license plate was captured by a camera. It's reasonable to assume they were in the vehicle," Stecher said.

The FBI said agents were in Mexico on Friday working with Mexican police to track down Peterson and the boy.
The FBI said around 7:30 p.m. central time, Peterson and the boy were found in Mexicali, Mexico. They were taken into custody by officials from the Baja California State Preventive Police Agency.
FBI agents from the San Diego Field Office and the FBI Imperial County Resident Agency Office said they were on their way to Mexicali to meet with Mexican authorities.

"Anytime you have an adult taking advantage of a child, this is a child 13 years old, it becomes priority," Stecher said. "It's a manipulative crime. You talk about a 13-year-old. How much influence has been put on them for this and you don't know what direction it will turn."
It's believed that a police investigation caused Peterson and the boy to flee to Mexico, ABC News reported. Authorities wanted to know if the teacher was having an intimate relationship with they boy after the eighth-grader's family reported deep suspicions.

The boy's cousin, Jessica Vera, told ABC that the teen was always at Peterson's house and they spent a lot of time together.
Peterson had been put on administrative leave a day before she apparently left town with the
boy.

Lexington Principal Todd Chessmore said he had no reason to have acted earlier.
"There was no prior indication that we should be concerned," Chessmore told ABC.

Peterson faces charges, according to Dawson County Attorney Elizabeth Waterman.
"I have charged her with one count of kidnapping, with felony child abuse and with contributing to the delinquency of a minor," Waterman said.

Peterson also faces federal charges, including transporting a minor across state lines or a foreign border for sexual activity. If found guilty, the conviction could carry a 10-year prison sentence.
Stecher told KETV NewsWatch 7 that Peterson and her alleged victim will be interviewed on their return, and the appropriate charges will be filed expeditiously.

Last week, love letters between the boy and Peterson were allegedly discovered on the teacher's school computer. In one letter, court records show, the boy said he loved Peterson and their relationship wasn't "just about sex."

The records show that Peterson also admitted to her father she was having a sexual relationship with a student, but she told him the boy was 16.
The two disappeared from Lexington on Saturday.

1st- let me say i'm very glad this child has been found safe.

secondly-I want to know, why is it that teachers are finding STUDENTS (CHILDREN) attractive??

I don't like hearing teens speak for more than 5 minutes, so i couldn't fathom the thought of assuming a relationship with one!! these kids are young and impressionable.

Did kelsey believe she could get away with this???

My male co-worker believes it's different for young men then it is for young women. He says that losing your virginity as a teenager (kid) to an older woman is not equal to molestation, pedophilia etc-in the eyes of the kid. Could he be correct.

And even if it were true, is it RIGHT for an adult to manipulate a CHILD????

What about possible trauma, damage in the long run, the grand scheme of things?
