| Kerry Kennedy accidentally took pill before driving |
| 2013-03-11 |
| Happens to all of us. From TFA: Kerry Kennedy argued Friday that the drugged-driving case against her should be dismissed because she accidentally took a sleeping pill and because the only damage done was to her pride and her famous name. In a 99-page motion filed in North Castle Town Court, Kennedy and her lawyer also recount her work for social justice and include a large file of glowing letters from friends and relatives. Don't forget her big payday coming in the Chevron Oil pollution case, or her vocal support for violent Mexican Marxist rebels. Hey, it could help. |

| #12 I coulda cut down on the size of that motion by about 98 1/2 pages: Your honor, I'm a Kennedy. Can I go now? |

| #9 A 99-page motion? For a simple DUI? A little overkill there, methinks. Maybe the lawyers think this is a small-town court judge and they can "baffle him with bullshit." Hopefully they're wrong. |

| #5 "any harm is limited to the humiliation and embarrassment inflicted on Ms. Kennedy, and the damage to her reputation because of her community standing and family name." Ahh, the old “No punishment could be worse than my personal anguish” defense. Here’s a little tip - not good idea. Judges usually hear that as the court proceeding is a waste of time and go on to find a fitting reprimand. |

| #4 These things often happen with the Royals. No wooden bridges were involved, so lets just move along now like good gentlemen. |
