Kerry Kennedy says she took sleeping pill accidentally and fights to dismiss drugged-driving charge
NY Daily News ^ | 3/8/13 | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kerry Kennedy argued Friday that the drugged-driving case against her should be dismissed because she accidentally took a sleeping pill and because the only damage done was to her pride and her famous name.

In a 99-page motion filed in North Castle Town Court, Kennedy and her lawyer also recount her work for social justice and include a large file of glowing letters from friends and relatives.

Kennedy is the ex-wife of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the daughter of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the niece of President John Kennedy.

She was arrested July 13 after police said her Lexus swerved into a tractor-trailer on Interstate 684 in North Castle, near her Bedford home. Police found her on an exit ramp and reported she failed sobriety tests and was slurring her speech.

“Accidentally took a sleeping pill”?! Teddy “accidentally” drank a quart of vodka every day. JFK “accidentally” bedded a hundred women while married. The Kennedy’s. One big accident.

Hysterical... you accidentally took sleeping pills? Sort of like saying you “accidentally” consumed ten beers and drove. Laughable...

Is “accidentally took a sleeping pill” a defense?

Well, maybe for a Kennedy who works for social justice.

Full of excuses, so typical for this pack of lying scumbags.

She won't be convicted of anything. Filing a big brief is just a courtesy to the court since she KNOWS she will be let off. Plus the lawyer is actually blackmailing her with a big bill for a big brief that will fool not information trough feeders - “Wow 99 pages from a top lawyer it must explain EVERYTHING!” This will all soon be forgotten except at Kennedy private parties where they sit around laughing at the stupids who worship them.

Just like most people who get DUIs.

Not to mention her famous book that sold in the tens, about famous pro-abortion Catholics.

What a group of dirtbags.

My Dad,a lifelong resident of the Boston area (and grew up in Southie),used to tell the story of how he and my Mom saw Old Man Kennedy in the 40's walk through the lobby of a small Boston hotel on Commonwealth Avenue (lots of *old* money there) and get onto an elevator to the guest rooms.He claims that a few minutes later they saw Gloria Swanson walk through and get on the same elevator.My Dad was prone to telling a tall tale or two (he *was* Irish,after all) but some of the stories he used to tell,that we all thought were fiction as we heard them,turned out to be true upon investigation so you never know.He'd tell that story every time we used to drive by where that hotel was.

The Kennedys are the filthiest,most despicable,most worthless family to have ever drawn breath in this nation.And Joe and Rose are buried a few feet from the uncle after whom I'm named.Disgraceful.

If only Richard Nixon had run in 1960 on conservative principles, picked Barry Goldwater instead of Henry Cabot Lodge as his running mate, focused his campaign on the battleground states—and shaved on the evening of September 26, before his first televised debate. Not only would he have won the presidency, he would have saved the country from all the harm done by the Kennedys over the past half century.

"I have too much regard for the lives of others, as well as my own, to place them at risk by driving while under the influence of zolpidem," she wrote.

Right. Interesting she restricted it to zolpidem, lol. Makes you think she'd have no problem with risking lives while careening down the road on whiskey.
