CBS News Logo Caitlyn Jenner talks jail time for fatal car crash
Caitlyn Jenner opened up and spoke publicly about potentially facing jail time after her involvement in a fatal car crash on "Today." "The media wants that picture, don't they?" Jenner said. "That is the worst-case scenario. I don't know. We'll see. The men's county jail. It is an enormous problem that they would put trans-women in a men's county jail." The car accident happened in February when Jenner rear-ended her Cadillac SUV against another vehicle, which then slammed into oncoming traffic, leading to that driver's death. The driver was a 69-year-old woman. Jenner explained to Matt Lauer that current litigation has prevented her from talking about the accident. "I remember it happening. That's about it," she said. "A tragedy like this, you'll never get over it. You just learn to live with it the best you possibly can." Legal experts say it is unlikely that Jenner will face jail time, but investigators are weighing a possible misdemeanor manslaughter charge against her. … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Caitlyn Jenner talks jail time for fatal car crash

Side Effects Of Weed: Marijuana Could Cause Mental Illness, Fatal Car Crashes
As marijuana becomes increasingly legal for medicinal or recreational purposes, scientists are taking a harder look at its possible harmful effects, including its role in fatal car crashes — the April 20 marijuana holiday, otherwise referred to "4/20," is one time and day of note — as well as whether it is linked to a possible spike in mental health issues. While marijuana can offer relief for those suffering from a decreased appetite, anxiety, seizures and other ailments, expanded marijuana legalization can present some negative consequences. A letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association examined a trend of fatal roadway crashes on April 20 because of the risk that comes with driving while impaired. The authors found in their analysis that “the risk of a fatal crash was significantly higher on April 20,” especially for the younger set of drivers.

Chris Soules, the “Bachelor” alum, has asked the Iowa Supreme Court to drop his felony charge before he faces trial. The 36-year-old reality star was arrested on April 25 after an Iowa car crash that left 66-year-old farmer Kenneth Mosher dead. The Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office said that Soules was driving a pick-up truck when he rear-ended Mosher’s tractor. “He was devastated to learn that Kenneth Mosher, the other person in the accident, passed away," his rep, Stan Rosenfield, said in a statement.
