A 22-year-old member of the Kennedy family pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct Wednesday in relation to his role in an early-morning fight outside an Aspen bar in December.
Conor Kennedy did not appear and was not required to appear in Aspen Municipal Court to enter the plea Wednesday morning, said Assistant City Attorney Andrea Bryan.
Aspen attorney Ryan Kalamaya appeared instead on Kennedy’s behalf and said his client was defending a friend outside the Bootsy Bellows nightclub before he was arrested. Kennedy and his family declined to comment further on the case, Kalamaya said.
In exchange for the guilty plea, Kennedy was given a six-month deferred sentence, meaning the plea will be wiped from his record if he stays out of trouble for the next six months, Bryan said. Kennedy also was required to write a letter of apology to the victim in the case, pay a $500 fine plus $35 in court costs, and refrain from alcohol and drugs for the six-month period, she said.
