Kennedy Acquitted of Driving Uninsured Car
John F. Kennedy Jr. has been acquitted on a charge of driving an uninsured vehicle, the state Department of Motor Vehicles announced.
Kennedy’s attorney on Friday took evidence to the DMV that his client’s car was insured when police ticketed him, a department spokesman said. The charge was dismissed, although the DMV has six months to verify the Kennedy documents.
A charge of driving an unregistered car was put off until Sept. 29, which also is the deadline for Kennedy to pay a $127 fine on his guilty pleas to speeding and driving an uninspected vehicle.
