The Case of Bobbi Kristina Brown ‘Still Open and Under Investigation’

via Twitter

*It’s been a year since Whitney Houston’s only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was found unresponsive in her own bathtub in Atlanta, and as E! News reports, there are still many questions left to be answered.

As previously reported, a Los Angeles spiritual healer revealed details about his visit to Bobbi Kristina in her final days and why he believes her death could’ve been prevented. He alleges that Brown was euthanized and that her aunt Pat Houston was instrumental in pulling the plug.

Bobbi Kristina died at the age of 22 on July 26, 2015, and Roswell, Ga., police closed their investigation that June and passed it on to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office for review, E! News notes.

To date, her case is “still open and under investigation,” Fulton County District Attorney spokesperson Yvette Jones tells E! News. The District Attorney’s office hasn’t revealed much details about its probe and it’s unclear when or if any charges will be filed. No one has been arrested or charged in the case, including Krissy’s former live-in boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who’s being sued for wrongful death.

Veteran criminal defense attorney Darryl Cohen told E! News this past week, “It’s really a waiting game. Waiting to see if anything is going to be done by the district attorney. Then, it’s either game-on one way or the other.”

“There is no statute of limitations but, at some point in time, if [someone] were to be indicted, juries are more difficult to convince,” Cohen said. “The longer from the time of the incident to the time it goes to trial, it’s harder. In my view, most would be like why did they wait so long? Unless there is some evidence, scientific, or an eyewitness that came out of the woodwork—that clearly is significant. If it’s nothing new then it makes jurors much more reticent to convict.”

The fact that the case has yet to move forward raises “serious questions,” Cohen added.

“What types of evidence are they analyzing and why is it taking them this long? That is a big ‘Why’ to me,” he explained. “Is there a smoking gun and it is taking a long time to analyze or is there a witness they are searching for?”

Cohen says don’t be surprised if the D.A.’s office waits until we get closer to the anniversary of Bobbi Kristina being found unconscious to announce that they are indicting someone.

“They would do it for the publicity’s sake. If there is a decision not to indict, I would be surprised if they said anything at or near the anniversary of the incident,” Cohen said.

Atlanta-based lawyer Rick Ryczek agrees with Cohen, that the more time that goes by, the harder it could be to prosecute anybody.

“There is no deadline but as time increases witnesses disappear, evidence can sometimes not be obtained, which opens up the defense attorney to argue they didn’t bring the charges in a constitutional, reasonable manner,” Ryczek said.
