Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, the bombastic TV judge, says she had been racing to see her sick mother when stopped for speeding.
“I had been driving for hours … and didn’t realize how fast I was driving,” she said. “I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences.”
New York State Police say the 66-year-old former district attorney was clocked at 119 mph about 1:15 p.m. Sunday in the Town of Nichols in Tioga County. The posted limit: 65 mph.
Reportedly driving a Cadillac, Pirro is “known as much for her conservative views as for the rapid-fire way in which she expresses them,” said The New York Times. “She said in a 2015 interview with The Hill that her biggest pet peeve was people who ‘drive slow in the passing lane.’”
USA Today noted that her then-husband Albert J. Pirro was sentenced to 29 months in prison for tax evasion.
And the Times said: “Over the course of Mr. Pirro’s trial for tax evasion in 2000, … the couple’s luxury car collection was enumerated for the jury. It included Bentleys, several Mercedes, several more sport utility vehicles and a Ferrari 348 Spider that cost more than $120,000.”
