This is from the LA Times 23 Nov 2009: The decision was made based on lack of evidence, said Frank Mateljan a spokesman for the L.A. city attorney’s office.
“Our folks took a look at the report that was sent over by the LAPD, and after a review of all the evidence we felt there was insufficient evidence, so we declined to file on this matter,” Mateljan said.
What would you do?
Book because she is a politicians daughter despite dubious evidence?
Cost taxpayers yet more money (California has plenty) because you “hate Kerry”?
What would you do for your daughter?
Evidently Kerry did not though I would if I
could and hope we all would to.
Thomas, stop yelling, I am right here.
Please don’t give into the hate.
All politicians are like that unless you voted for them.
SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH DUI. HOW DOES SEN. KERRY represent law and then allow his DAUGHTER to not be SUBJECT TO THE LAW that EVERYONE else must adhere to.
CHEAT, LIE, CORRUPT POLITICIANS….I HATE KERRY!!! He is a PHONEY!!! I want him OUSTED out of his SEAT!!!
I think that once again the politics of Washington impact the decision to charge a person with drunk driving. I lived in California for a year and I can tell you that anyone else would have been charged with drunk driving. It does not matter that 0.08 is the DUI rule in Massachusetts, in California she was DUI and should have been charged. The double standard of politicians pulling strings because they are above the law must stop. We cannot have two laws, one for the average person that is NOT a millionaire politician and one for those that are. Booker Dano!
This needs to be updated, charges have been dropped, her blood alcohol content was .06, not .08, which is the legal limit in Massachusetts.

This shouldn’t be a news for us. DUI is she and her family matters and shouldn’t be shared as she is not running for public office. Many public servants with such records even get elected without a problem….every one visit the devil sometime in their lives so keep it off the news.
Enough of the attitude people, this is news–anything affecting the family of a US senator is news in his home state. Besides, WBUR wastes no reporting resources on this, this all comes in through news feeds and goes online with nothing more than an editor’s finger pushing a button.
Just not interested in such news unless she were currently running for office or serving in office. As is, not newsworthy.
Come on WBUR-If you choose to waste a reporter, time and energy on this kind of journalism, I will not support WBUR. So disappointed.
had to also chime in and say “how is this news?”
you pledge dollars at work, not even close to relevant news.
Looks like the Kerry’s want to match the Kennedy’s for most family drunks.
I’m not really sure how this is news. I think this type of thing is best left for commercial media.
