Kerry Kennedy acquitted of drugged driving in New York WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Kerry Kennedy was acquitted Friday of drugged driving in a July 2012 incident in which she accidentally took a sleeping pill and then sideswiped a truck in a wild highway drive she said she didn't remember.
Kennedy hugged and clasped hands with her lawyers as a six-person jury cleared her of driving while impaired, a misdemeanor. It had carried the potential for up to a year in jail, though that would be unlikely for a first-time offender.

The internal combustion engine, and the Kennedys, have never played well together..
“Kennedy hugged and clasped hands with her lawyers ....”
That’s lawyerS plural. Must be nice.
I read a book the other day, called Haunted Vineyard. One of the stories in the book was about Ted Kennedy and the Mary Jo Kopechne story.
I did a little delving into the net to read the real (not a ghost) story.
I never knew the real story. Ted got away with at the very least leaving the woman to die in the car, which she was alive for about 2 hours before she suffocated or drowned. He evidently went back to his hotel at this time and went to sleep.
He claimed to have dove and dove to save her life. He went back to the party house and three of them dove and dove to save her life. All any of the three had to do was call the police. She could’ve been saved.
She was the only daughter of the Kopechne’s.
Really tragic.
if i recall she admitted she did it on the stand something about taking anbien and not allowing for the afteraffects. me thinks this jury’s combined IQ would not reach triple digits though their bank accounts may have interesting deposits
The halo fell off many Kennedy heads a long time ago.
She’s just the latest one
Guilty by birth.
Redeemed at death.
But what a life between..
That she can remember anyway.
Accident by accident,, damn, (smacks forehead)
That’s worth a new Luxury car as a bonus to any defense attorney that came up with that one.
Kerry Kennedy was last seen piloting a private airplane away from the courthouse.
Two Americas, indeed.
Yes - first offense. Very unusual it went to trial.
You’re probably right on all counts
