WHITE PLAINS, NY — Even if Kerry Kennedy accidentally drugged herself with a sleeping pill before getting in her car, she broke the law if she kept driving after feeling the drug’s effects, prosecutors say.

In filings Tuesday, the Westchester County district attorney’s office asked a judge to reject Kennedy’s second attempt to have her drugged-driving case dismissed. Prosecutors said a dismissal would send the wrong message to the public about how “people of wealth and power” are treated.

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

I wonder if she's also exempt from Husseincare.

Kennedys are white trash.

[Arm_Bears]

That statement is an insult to White trash.

[Drill Thrawl]

Kennedys are white trash.

Why you hatin' on White Trash?

White Trash comin’ to Kick Your @$$. As soon as they sober up and find the keys to the Camaro.

This prosecutor had better sleep with one eye open.

[Chode]

if they let that miserable wretch walk, they are setting precedent and others can ask for the same treatment under similar circumstances...

Arm_Bears as a proud member of the White Trash coalition, I agree with you. ozzymandus please apologize. : )

Sorry to be on the other side on this, but

Justice is supposed to be BLIND. That means, wealth or poverty shouldn’t alter the outcome—but neither should the need to placate “public perception”.

That’s about as poor an excuse for a prosecution as I’ve ever heard—”the public wants one”. If prosecutors start taking public opinion polls or listening to the mob (or social media) or anything else,

then all those who are unpopular or non-PC are going to get prosecuted, whether they are guilty or not.

And that’s only a short step away from convictions
made in order to placate public opinion...

CondorFlight do you have a comprehension problem. Neither I or Arm_Bears are on any side of this, “who cares”, story. Arm suggested calling Kennedy's white trash was not fair to white trash. I proclaimed I was white trash and agreed. It's call sarcasm. Study it so you can better identify it when you see it

[Thank You Rush]

Boy! Being married to that creep would have given her enough reason to begin drinking or taking drugs...He is so ugly and dorky! Kennedys aren’t known for their smarts so perhaps she was an exception to that by divorcing him.

LOL. Sure, they can ask. They ain't gettin though.

[Chode]

true but they can still raise hell if they don't... i know i damn well would in the papers if i had to buy ad space to do it

In AZ, you are considered under the influence whether you feel it or not at .08 or over!

My apologies to all the white trash I offended. But if you ain’t drivin’ a El Camino, you just frontin’ white trash. (See also: Clinton, Bill; astroturf)
