Kerry Kennedy was arrested for driving under the influence on July 13, but the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy swears alcohol played no role in why she slammed into a tractor trailer.
Appearing in North Castle Town Court last
night, Kennedy pleaded not guilty and then addressed reporters, zeroing
in on the claim that she failed various field sobriety tests.
Kennedy said toxicology tests showed "no alcohol, recreational drugs or prescription medication in my system," but neurological tests revealed an area of hyper density" in her brain.
"This accident was caused not by a sleeping
aid but by a complex partial seizure," Kennedy said, adding that the
aforementioned area is the result of an old injury.
Kennedy will return to court in August.
