Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, was in a traffic accident in July 2012 after driving under the influence of what was later learned to be Ambien. This year, after a four-day trial, the jury found her not guilty. Now, Kennedy is talking exclusively with NBC News about the ordeal and what she describes as her "stupid mistake."

Kerry Kennedy is the President at the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, where she continues her work focusing on a farm workers bill of rights.
