RFK Jr.'s wife guilty of driving impaired in NY
DUI DWI Laws
The wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. settled her drunken-driving case without jail time Thursday night by pleading guilty to a minor charge.
Mary Kennedy admitted in court that her driving ability was impaired when she drove over a curb outside a school in Bedford, 30 miles north of New York City, in May.
Robert Kennedy, who has reportedly filed for divorce, was not in court. He also was not among the many relatives and friends who wrote supportive letters to Town Judge Kevin Quaranta.
"He was not asked," said Mary Kennedy's lawyer, Kerry Lawrence.
Robert Kennedy's mother, Ethel Kennedy, and his sister Kerry Kennedy wrote letters, with Ethel Kennedy telling the judge her daughter-in-law is "kind, loving, gentle and generous."
Mary Kennedy, 50, would not comment after the court session. Her lawyer said she was "pleased to get some closure."
The charge of driving while ability impaired is a violation and carries no jail time. The judge fined Kennedy $500, suspended her driver's license for 90 days and ordered her to attend two drunken-driving programs.
