Kerry Kennedy must stand trial for drugged driving, a Westchester judge said yesterday in rejecting a bid by the former wife of Gov. Cuomo to dismiss the misdemeanor charge.
North Castle Town Court Judge Elyse Lazansky set Oct. 8 for the next court date in the case of Kennedy, 53, who was allegedly under the influence of a sleeping pill when she swerved her Lexus into a tractor-trailer on I-684 near her home last July 13.
The judge conceded that Kennedy, a human-rights activist who is the 10th of 11 children of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, “is not a typical criminal defendant. She has achieved a great deal and is dedicated to good works.”
But Lazansky added, “Other gifted, powerful and wealthy politicians and celebrities too numerous to mention have faced a wide variety of criminal charges and have gone on to do their jobs or serve the public in many important ways.”
The judge said Kennedy “cut a wide swath of danger and risk to other vehicles on the road during rush hour that day, allegedly driving on the grass, the median, hitting a tractor-trailer and weaving across lanes of the interstate.”
Kennedy refused to comment as she left court after the brief hearing.

The never-ending melodrama continues with another intoxicated Kennedy ... who should not be penalized for her actions because she is basically a good person ... and entitled royalty ... and is just doing that little thing that so many other Kennedy clan members do!
But Lazansky added, “Other gifted, powerful and wealthy politicians and celebrities too numerous to mention have faced a wide variety of criminal charges and have gone on to do their jobs or serve the public in many important ways.”

Yes they have. Ask Mary Jo. Murders, rapes, scams, treason, IRS, Benghazi, and many other worthwhile political pursuits.
No doubt Andrew Cuomo led her to a life of debauchery, drugs and wild driving escapades.
It’s a misdemeanor charge. Why not plead guilty, and go on Oprah?
Kerry is not the 10th child. The artice is wrong on this fact. Siblings Max, Doug, and Rory are younger.
Hey,maybe we aren't Irish after all.Maybe we've been Lithuanians all along.
Gifted????????
Hereditary insanity is a gift?
Christopher too.
Did she take a blood test?
The apple never falls far from the tree.
That was my thought, too. She was about sixth. (As a child, I memorized the whole list.)
