The Long Island mother accused of killing her young son in a wrong-way crash while she was driving high on methamphetamines had her license suspended for the 57th time during her arraignment Wednesday afternoon, prosecutors said.

Suffolk County Judge Richard I. Horowitz ordered the suspension of Kerri Bedrick’s driver’s license until the conclusion of the case and held the 32-year-old in custody without bail after she pleaded not guilty to murder charges during her arraignment.

Bedrick’s license was already suspended on Aug. 22 when she drove the wrong way on the Southern State Parkway around 2:15 a.m. and caused a four-car wreck that killed her 9-year-old son, authorities said.

A deputy sheriff tried to pull over Bedrick when he initially spotted her going the wrong way, but she went faster and drove around the deputy’s vehicle, prosecutors said.

57 times??? Are you freaking kidding? This woman is a POS who needs to rot

[BobL]

I guess the OTHER 56 TIMES didn’t warrant a news story about her?

Thats one for every one of Obama’s states!

Idaho has a “chronic drunkard” and “chronic drug abuser” law that takes your license away permanently.

FIFTY SEVEN suspensions? All the people in NYS who did that should get the Kim Jong-un discharge for bad performance treatment.

The supposed justice system employees that kept enabling her have the kids blood on their hands...

She had meth in the car.

I'm part of the problem, the genesis if you will.

As a child of the '60's, I brought into American culture rebelion and drugs and no morals.

In my opinion back then, I was liberating strict American culture that I perceived needed changing back in 1967.

Shortly after discharge from the Army, I jumped right IN to sex, drugs and rock n' roll that didn't abate until 1981 when I met Jesus, got saved and allowed Him to fix me, but by that time, SO much had already been damaged.

I apologize.

God Bless

Does NY have a statute that allows judges to assume the role of the DMV? Could that same judge issue a driver’s permit to someone?

[Fresh Wind]

57 times???

I'm assuming Tampon Tim, a known drunk driver, wouldn't see a problem with this sort of record.

[T.B. Yoits]

She had 57 suspensions before reaching 33 years of age.

The State is an accessory to murder.

[Ikeon]

Give her SOME credit. She legally obtained her license 56 times, she’s no quitter.

57 times??? Are you freaking kidding?

I just had to read the article to see what the heck is going on.

Apparently, in NY, you can get MULTIPLE suspensions at the same time, whatever that means.

The article says that 56 suspensions were issues on 8 different days. It doesn't explain if the the suspensions were consecutive or concurrent.

I had to read the article because I was wondering what the shortest amount of time for a suspension would be to allow for 57 of them, assuming them to be consecutive. Didn't find out.

"Suffolk County Judge Richard I. Horowitz ordered the suspension of Kerri Bedrick’s driver’s license until the conclusion of the case"

WHAT!? Is the judge trying for a record number of suspensions (and innocent people killed) before this woman ends up killing herself, with drugs or in a car?!?

This woman's license should be suspended in perpetuity regardless of the case.

[LukeL]

A person with that many suspensions should not be allowed to register a vehicle, and if caught driving the car should be impounded.

As a child of the '60's, I brought into American culture rebelion and drugs and no morals. [ . . .]I apologize.

We all have apologies to make.

And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray (Matthew 18:13)

[SaxxonWoods]

What, they suspend the license for a week at a time? Our justice system is a complete joke.

[SaxxonWoods]

She was probably caught driving while suspended and they just added more suspensions. Jail and supervised treatment programs are needed for such people.

Per the above, the perp had meth in her bloodstream as well.

57 license suspensions in 32 years?
That’s not possible.
