Basically this ditz is so out of it she doesn't know what she's taking, then she says she might have taken the wrong thing, then she didn't take anything, and THEN she gave a whole diatribe about her doctor telling her it was probably a seizure from an old head injury. Usually when I get caught and I'm stoned I say "the jig is up." Not Ms. Richie Rich. Anything but taking responsibility for driving around stoned and not knowing what she's doing. She's a MENACE II SOCIETY.
I am getting a head injury just reading through this crap. They need to put her UNDER the jail. She tried to get this case decided in the press, and drum up sympathy for herself, and NOW WHAT? Hey she was on drugs. The cop and the truck driver were right. She was STONED OFF HER ASS. What a SHOCK! A KENNEDY, stoned. Who could believe that?
If I got in this mess they would be working on seizing my car and busting my chops nine ways to Sunday. I will hold my breath and wait for her to own up to her bullshit. I wonder if she's going to try to stick with the head injury story in light of the blood test that shows she was STONED OFF HER ASS. I could type that all day.
STONED OFF HER ASS. Man that feels good.
Kerry Kennedy had a generic version of the potent prescription sleep aid Ambien in her system after she struck a tractor-trailer while driving erratically on a Westchester County highway this month, court papers filed on Wednesday said.[New York Times]
Final toxicology results showed that no other drugs or alcohol were in Ms. Kennedy’s blood or urine, a deposition submitted to the court by prosecutors said.
Ms. Kennedy, the former wife of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, had told the police after she had been stopped that she takes the drug Synthroid every morning at 7:30 for a thyroid condition, and on occasion, she takes Ambien to help her sleep.
She is facing a misdemeanor charge of driving with ability impaired by drugs and has pleaded not guilty.
Ms. Kennedy was arrested on July 13 after she swerved into a tractor-trailer on Interstate 684 and continued driving, exiting the highway just after 8 a.m. Officer Joel Thomas of the North Castle police found a dazed and disoriented Ms. Kennedy behind the wheel of her damaged 2008 Lexus, with the engine running and a flat tire. A witness reported that Ms. Kennedy left the accident scene, court papers said.
Officer Thomas said Ms. Kennedy was “swaying” and exhibited impaired speech. She told the police she felt dizzy and had no memory of a collision, court documents show.
Zolpidem, a hypnotic and sedative class drug prescribed by physicians to treat temporary insomnia, has been known to cause strange, though rare, side effects. The reported problems include sleepwalking, short-term amnesia and “sleep-driving” — driving while not fully awake, according to a guide approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Ms. Kennedy told the officer that the two medications were “next to each other on her counter, and it is possible she took the sleep medication instead of the thyroid medication,” according to the papers filed by the Westchester district attorney, Janet DiFiore.
The toxicology tests, administered nearly five hours after the accident, showed that Ms. Kennedy, 52, had evidence of zolpidem, the chemical found in Ambien and other sleep aids, in her system.
The amount of zolpidem detected in Ms. Kennedy’s blood — 14 nanograms per milliliter — is low, said David M. Benjamin, a clinical pharmacologist and forensic toxicologist based in Massachusetts. Dr. Benjamin said it would be difficult, based on the level alone, to pinpoint when she took the zolpidem.
Ms. Kennedy had also made the suggestion, based on neurological testing performed by her own doctors, that the collision resulted from a possible partial seizure caused by a long-ago head injury.
