FACTORYVILLE (Pa.)--Tony Rodham, the brother of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, testified Monday that he may have smoked marijuana with a man who allegedly assaulted him hours later.
"I might have, but I don't recall," Rodham said.
Rodham testified at a hearing for Daniel Coyne, 45, who is charged with assault, burglary and trespassing for an Aug. 19 incident at the Rodham family's cottage in Lake Winola, about 115 north of Philadelphia. Coyne was ordered to stand trial after the hearing.
Coyne has told police he climbed onto the porch of the cottage around 3 a.m. and saw Rodham having sex with a woman Coyne said was his girlfriend. Authorities said Coyne then broke into the cottage and kicked Rodham, 47, in the face, head and body.
Defense attorney Gerard Karam did not deny his client assaulted Rodham, but he argued for a dismissal of the burglary charge on the grounds that Coyne was drunk and not capable of forming a specific intent.
The attorney asked Rodham about drug use, and Rodham said he might have smoked marijuana with Coyne and the woman at a barbecue earlier that night.
Rodham made news earlier this year after aides to former President Clinton said he had pushed last year's pardons of Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, who were convicted of bank fraud in 1982. Sen. Clinton said her brother has not been paid for the effort.
How do they ever find their car at the mall?
You commented, "Sex, lies and drugs..."
These are the traits that endear the Clintons/Rodhams to their voting cult. The Kool Aid slurping, mentally ill lifers in the DemonicRat voting cult will love, adore and support forever the Clintoons!
Notice that whenever these truths come out, the Kool Aid slurping voting cult members rally even more around their exulted leaders in immorality!
There is absolutely nothing that the Clintoons have done and will do, that will turn off the mentally ill DemonicRat voting cult!
When your door key's a slim jim and your ignition key's a dent puller, any car is 'your' car...
That's a new one.
This must be a defense made for dumb people of privelge or power. Any normal guy would've been canned and not given the opportunity for such an excuse.
Figures it seems to be used most with the RodhamClintons.
