Kerry Kennedy Testifies In Westchester Court In Drugged-Driving Trial | Armonk Real Estate
Bedford resident Kerry Kennedy took the stand Wednesday to testify in her drugged-driving trial at the Westchester County Court in White Plains.
Kennedy is facing one charge of driving while ability impaired by drugs, stemming from a July 2012 accident in North Castle. Toxicology reports showed that she had a sleep medication in her system. She has pleaded not guilty, saying she accidentally took the pill instead of her thyroid medication.
During her testimony, Kennedy talked about her father, U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, mentioning that he was the U.S. attorney general during the civil rights movement and that he was killed while running for president when she 8 years old.
When questioned by her attorney, Gerald Lefcourt, Kennedy said that she did not realize at the time that she had taken the wrong medication and that she was impaired.
"No, if I realized I was impaired I would have pulled over. I wouldn't drive if I was impaired," she said.
She said her memory of the entire incident was jumbled, and that she could not remember any time from when she got onto Interstate 684 to when she was on Route 22 in North Castle and someone was knocking on her window.
"I was feeling dizzy and disoriented, very confused and scared about what had happened and the fact that I had no memory of it, and frightened by the fact that I had no memory."
