WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - A jury found Kerry Kennedy not guilty Friday of driving while drugged.

The 54-year-old daughter of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was charged with a single count of driving while ability impaired by drugs, stemming from a July 13, 2012, incident in which she drove for miles down Interstate 684 while under the influence of Ambien, a fast-acting sleeping pill.

The four-man, two-woman panel began discussing the case late Thursday after lawyers for Kennedy made their closing arguments. If convicted, Kennedy could have faced up to a year in jail.
