JUSTICE: Jeanine Pirro Pleads Guilty to Massive Speeding Ticket
Jeanine Pirro, the former Westchester District Attorney turned host of Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, pleaded guilty to a speeding ticket she got driving an insane 119 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Pirro pleaded guilty at the Tioga County district attorney’s office to driving 95 mph, and was fined $300 plus fees. She will also have to take a defensive driving course.
The plea deal had Pirro driving only 30 mph over the speed limit, which is good news for the Cadillac-whipping judge: in New York state, a driver caught speeding more than 40 mph can have their license suspended. And per the state trooper who pulled her over, Pirro actually clocked in at a whopping 54 over the speed limit.
At the time, the Fox News host explained that she “had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving.”
“I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences,” she added in a statement.
Pirro was a Westchester County judge and then DA from 1994 to 2005 — before joining Fox News as a legal analyst.
She is now perhaps best known for her fiery monologues calling for the arrest of various political foes of President Donald Trump, from Hillary Clinton to the entire top brass of the FBI.
