Kerry Kennedy may agree to a plea deal over driving while drugged charges stemming from a 2012 accident so she can continue her extensive human rights work.
Kennedy, 54, is afraid a conviction would bring with it restrictions that would curtail her international travels she has visited several dozen countries on humanitarian missions.
The plea deal was previously discussed between her legal team and prosecutors before being shelved, but her attorneys have brought it back to the table with her trial slated to start Monday, according to the New York Daily News.
Lawyers originally tabled the deal while preparing a defense explaining former Senator Robert F Kennedys daughter took Ambien by mistake she meant to take thyroid medication, sources told the paper.
Our defense in this case is that Kerry Kennedy did not knowingly and intentionally ingest those sleeping pills, her lawyer explained Friday in court.
The pills are very similar, he added. She took what she thought was her thyroid medication.
The former wife of current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Kennedy was travelling between the Western Sahara and Brussels, Belgium during last weeks jury selection process, sources said.
Kennedy faces a misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired by drugs after colliding July 13, 2012 with a tractor trailer on a suburban New York highway, authorities said.

I meant to drink a cup of coffee. The pint of Wild Turkey was an accident. I now have a defense if I ever get charged with a DUI.
I should have read the comments. GMTA
Either that or killing everyone outright, such as Junior did. Never get into a conveyance with any of these people.
Aid to the auto body industry?
She was aware enough to leave the scene of the accident but not aware enought to take the correct pill...sure. More trust fund money to be spent on a jackal attorney too.
The first line of the article is a parody in and of itself!
It might run in the family but it sure don’t drive too well...

“All the Kennedys have a prescription to Ambien,”
I HATE Ambien! It made me walk in my sleep, which I used to do when I was a kid, but had outgrown. Ambien brought it back. At first, I couldn’t figure out why there was food out on the counter when I got up in the morning. Almost burnt my house down one night cooking while somnambulating!
Of course that has nothing to do with KK, but,,, I HATE Ambien!
Regarding human rights, her children have the right to a mother, her husband has the right to a non-adulterous wife, other drivers have the right to life.
It’s perfect.
Yet another lawbreaking Kennedy demanding special treatment?
Ho hum.................
All I can say is that I am about as likely to name my next child “Kerry Kennedy Golux” as “Abu Husein Mohammed Golux.”
Actually, less likely.
It’s just... The worst name ever.
What could be worse?
Osama Bin Golux? At least it has a ring to it.
Kerry Kennedy Carter Golux? At least the Carters could sing.
It’s just a gross name. If someone extended their hand to you and said: “KERRY KENNEDY!”
Wouldn’t you just pause, just a little? And maybe vomit just a bit in your mouth?
Exactly.
That is why the politicians aren't trying to elevate people and move them off the urban plantations.
Instead, they are trying to get the rest of us on the plantations.
They are killing the middle class and making their Nanny State/Police State stronger and more pervasive to force us on to the government teat.
It disturbs them greatly to see us living free and not treating them as Royalty.
LOLOLMAO! Best laugh of the weekend!! What an image that one conjures-up!
The apples don’t fall far from the tree!
Now here is a real criminal that 35 FBI agents needed to be assigned to persecute.
How ridiculous! I take thyroid pills and they look NOTHING like sleeping pills! I’ve taken several different dosages, so I know there is a full range of colors, but size and color of these are quite different.
They look different on purpose, so they can not be confused by patient or pharmacist. There are entire courses on the very topic
