Hillary Clinton brother testifies in assault case

FACTORYVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- Tony Rodham, a brother of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, testified Monday that he "might have" smoked marijuana with a man who allegedly assaulted him hours later. Rodham, 47, of Washington, D.C., was allegedly attacked Aug. 19 by Daniel Martin Coyne at the Rodham family's summer cottage in Lake Winola, about 115 miles north of Philadelphia. Rodham appeared before District Justice Russell Shurtleff as a witness in the case against Coyne, 45, who is charged with assault, burglary and trespassing. After the hearing, Shurtleff ordered Coyne to stand trial. Coyne has told police he climbed onto the porch of the cottage around 3 a.m. and saw Kelly Ann Quick, 36, and Rodham having sex in the living room, according to a police affidavit. He told police Quick was his girlfriend. Authorities said Coyne broke into the cottage and kicked Rodham in the face, head and body. Coyne's attorney, Gerard Karam, questioned Rodham about drug use, and Rodham said he might have smoked marijuana with Quick and Coyne during a barbecue earlier that night. "I might have, but I don't recall," he said. Karam did not deny his client assaulted Rodham, but he argued for dismissal of the burglary charge on the grounds that Coyne was drunk and did not have the capability of forming a specific intent. "Daniel Coyne didn't know what he was doing when he entered that door," Karam said. Rodham made news earlier this year after aides to former President Clinton said Rodham had pushed for pardons for Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, who were convicted of bank fraud in 1982. Hillary Clinton defended her brother, saying he had not been paid for the effort. President Clinton issued the pardons last year. In 1994, Tony Rodham married Nicole Boxer, the daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. They divorced last year.

Geez, who's the black sheep of the Rodham family?

The white, male, straight, conservative, Christian, anti-abortion, pro-gun, Republican member of the family. He's buried in a public park somewhere.

Is this Rodham a lawyer like Livia Rodham? If so, I'm amazed at these brilliant lawyers who can't remember anything.

I always found it insulting that the "Smartest Woman in the World" always becomes absent-minded when her misdeeds and lies come back to haunt her.

Wow. The Rodhams are really giving the Clintoon's a run for their money as the trashiest family in America.

Jenna Bush orders a drink and the media is all over it like spilled booze on Ted Kennedy. How much time will they spend on this court case?

They are all such treasures. Oh how I wish a big hole would open in the earth and swallow them all up.

Why do I get the feeling that Tony is playing pocket hockey in that photo?

Let us not forget that the Rodham boy, Barbara Boxer's grandson, was in the house when all this stuff was going on. I see that now, not only has he been exposed to illicit crude sex and violence, but drugs were present as well.

In most venues, custody would be awarded to the mother. I wonder why no one ever brings this up?

You're so right MM!! I wonder if ole Babs the Boxer will be woman enough to do something about it. Nah.

Hey I know, let's call HRS and report them! When they ask how we know this has been taking place we'll refer them to the newspaper.
