A frail Ethel Kennedy showed up at the Westchester County courthouse this morning to support her daughter Kerry Kennedy on the first day of her trial on drugged driving charges.
Ethel Kennedy, the 85-year-old widow of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, was in a wheelchair and accompanied by an unidentified man and woman when she entered the courtroom shortly after 9 a.m.
Kerry Kennedy had hoped to avoid a trial, but her bid to have the case tossed failed last week after a judge denied her motion to have the case dropped because she supposedly took a sleeping pill by accident.

Meanwhile, Robert F. Bobby Kennedy Jr., 60, asked for compassion for his misunderstood sister, a lawyer and professional human-rights activist.
Kerrys been instrumental in freeing political prisoners and dissidents from around the globe from imprisonment and torture, Bobby told The Posts Andrea Peyser.
He argued that political agitators all over the world could be locked up and tortured if his sister is convicted in Westchester County for being hell on wheels.
Africans might be tormented or killed for being gay, he claimed.

Talk about being a “helicopter parent”. How old is her daughter?? 45??
Many in the general public in the United States could be killed if they don’t get another drunk/drugged Kennedy off the streets!
Yes, she was married to boy andy. I believe that POS is behind this. Such drama for her swiping a tracker trailer because she is a Kennedy. This is overkill.
Do the Kennedy women do anything but show up for family criminal trials?
He argued that political agitators all over the world could be locked up...
+++++++
That’s not necessarily a bad idea, in our country the whole democrat party and the ‘chosen one’ could end up in jail.
She stayed away?
Very good
So because gay Africans might be harassed by this conviction we should let another Kennedy skate away? Bull Shiite!
Just take the plea and hire a chauffeur for Pete’s sake
;)
This whole family has a real problem with machinery.
They would but the court schedules don't allow them the time.

Kerry Kennedy was ‘sleep driving’ according to her defense attorney at DWI trial in Westchester County
She looks like James Caan.
At one point I thought Kerry was the best looking of the biological Kennedy wymyn. Guess that’s what happens when you marry a Cuomo.
I’m sure I must have heard the name, but I can’t recall it. Shame on her for putting her mother through this.
Right but Canada considers a misdemeanor DWI charge to be a felony under their laws and will deny such a person entry into their country.
Sweden has a 0.01 BAC standard.
She would find globe trotting to be more difficult if she couldn't pass through certain countries' airports.
Boo frickin' hoo.
I think that’s just another definition for “bum” just like the word “socialite” is. You know how liberals always like to change words and phrases around, for example “global warming” becomes “climate change”? “Bum” becomes “socialite” - now it is called Professional human rights activist”. For example being busted for drugged driving means she is now fighting for her rights, so therefore she is a Professional human rights activist”.
