Kerry Kennedy invokes dad’s death in drugged-driving defense
NY Post ^ | 2/27/14 | Andrea Peyser

She’s a mom, a human-rights leader — oh, and another fatherless Kennedy.

Testifying in her own defense at her drugged driving trial Wednesday, Kerry Kennedy wasted little time before playing the “Daddy” card.

“Daddy was the attorney general during the civil rights movement and then a senator,” the 54-year-old testified, supposedly explaining why she grew up in Virginia, but coyly invoking the memory of her slain father, Sen Robert F. Kennedy.

Why do people agree take mind and pain scripts so easy? I avoid them at all cost. Legal or not, drugs rewire your brain and affect all your organs and bodily functions.

I attended that court hearing in Connecticut last spring in which Michael Skakil was seeking a new trial.During his testimony he spoke of the animosity that the Kennedys and the Skakils have for each other these days.Of course it was easy to tell when Michael was lying...his lips were moving.

“Do you know who I am?”

The Kennedy name is a generation away from being unrecognizable.

Will there ever be a Kennedy born without horse teeth? How strong are these awful genes?

I know who she is; another low-life dreg from the low end of the gene pool. Then again, that is one of the definitions of a democrat.

The arrongance of our entiltled class knows no bounds. If I were on the jury I'd probably be inclined to take away her license and give her community service. That self-serving whining would ruin it. She would've been GONE when she brought of the "she's a Kennedy" bit. Jail time, princess.

Is our elite so out of touch that they don't know that we're fed up with people who don't play by the same rules? It hasn't turned out well throughout history or currently in other countries when that happens.

She doesn't want that. She apparently had the opportunity to plead to a lesser offense but did not want to lose her license for six months. She wants a NOT GUILTY! based on who she is period.

I am sure she is offended by the fact that she has to go through this. After all, she IS a Kennedy. Unfortunately, the author of the article describes the six man jury as being starstruck. Geez, this country is lost.

Over 45 years later and she plays the dead Kennedy card! Some people! My gold fish died last week, wonder if I can use that to get out of a speeding ticket?

Well, after all what she did is child’s play compared to Unca Teddy. He killed a woman and got away with it. /s

Ah, yes. The old “Do-you-know-who-I-am?” defense.
That’s the second time I’ve fallen for that this month.
