Hillary Clinton's Brother Testifies

Hillary Clinton's Brother Testifies


Monday November 26, 2001 10:00 PM

FACTORYVILLE, Pa. (AP) - Tony Rodham, the brother of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, testified Monday that he may have smoked marijuana with a man who allegedly assaulted him hours later.

``I might have, but I don't recall,'' Rodham said.

He testified at a hearing for Daniel Coyne, 45, who is charged with assault, burglary and trespassing for an Aug. 19 incident at the Rodham family's cottage in Lake Winola, about 115 miles north of Philadelphia. He was ordered to stand trial after the hearing.

Coyne has told police he climbed onto the porch of the cottage around 3 a.m. and saw Rodham having sex with a woman Coyne said was his girlfriend. Authorities said Coyne then broke into the cottage and kicked Rodham, 47, in the face, head and body.

Defense attorney Gerard 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 was not capable of forming a specific intent.

The attorney asked Rodham about drug use, and Rodham said he might have smoked marijuana with Coyne and the woman at a barbecue earlier that night.

Rodham made news earlier this year after aides to former President Clinton said he had pushed for last year's pardons of Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, who were convicted of bank fraud in 1982. Sen. Clinton said her brother had not been paid for the effort.

Sounds like he was too drunk at the time to recall much of anything he did that night.

His sister can't remember anything either...I wonder if it is for the same reason?

I am so disgusted with this pig, I can't even think of something clever to say. He needs a little military justice. Stick his ugly butt in one of those tribunals. Osama: "I don't recall blah blah" Oh OK, you are not guilty...NOT!

Humm... must run in the family. And it apparently also affects people they marry.

There is no mistaking the family resemblance. I wonder if he can remember who hired his secretary?

BTW,I wonder if Buh-Bette! knows her brother has been smoking. Isn't this the same brother who stands to make millions from the anti-smoking lawsuits?

The title should read "Hillary Clinton's Brother Lies". And who would have sex with him, his brother, or that fact Hillary? Ugh....

Yeah, I Know. Makes you just want to kill them, bring them back to life and kill them again. I would not do that to them it would be way 2 easy an out. Maybe we could put them in a glass jail for everyone to see them; NO, they would probably like that 2. I don't know, every option is just to good for them. Can anyone think of a good way to make them suffer, like they have made us suffer for the last 8 years and years 2 come?
