Kennedy Ordered to Appear at Informal Hearing Over Airport Incident
Rep. Patrick Kennedy must attend a May 12 informal hearing with an airport guard regarding allegations he shoved Della Patton at Los Angeles airport. Prosecutors chose the hearing option instead of misdemeanor battery charges, with most such hearings resolving without charges.
