On Friday, Fox News reported that the new video could show that he was at fault, but for any charges to be pressed they would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was negligent behind the wheel.
"The bottom line is that charges most likely will not be filed, if they are filed, Jenner will avoid prison and most likely be granted probation with no jail time. However, Jenner's biggest worry should be the wrongful death lawsuit, which will be filed soon enough, and will reach deep into his pockets if his insurance doesn't cover his tab," said California-based criminal defense attorney R.J Manuelian.

Authorities are reportedly still reviewing the tape to determine what the cause of the accident was, but think that vehicular manslaughter would be a stretch.
"It would have to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was negligent," said a source. "Just because he rear-ended someone, it's usually considered an accident. But, the stretch would be that he was inattentive and violated the vehicle code of following too close. I'm sure they checked his phone to see if he was texting, which would also be considered negligence."
Manuelian briefed the publications on possible outcomes of the accident.
"If there is such evidence that he was driving with 'gross negligence' or 'ordinary negligence' he can be charged with either a misdemeanor -- punishable up to 1 year in jail -- or a felony under Penal Code Section 190(c)(1) and can be sentenced to a maximum of six years. But this is not likely at all given it is Jenner's first brush with the law," he said.
The investigators for the case have reportedly gotten phone records of each of the drivers to determine if any of them were texting and driving.
