To be fair, someone very close to me had an incident of "sleeping action" while taking ambien. It was quite bizarre, as it involved sending an email (complete with mostly correct spelling and successful addressing) that detailed topics that would never have been addressed in an uncompromised state of mind. The next day, she had no memory of doing this. This involves completing a fairly intricate task without full control, inhibition, or awareness of doing so.
I'm not making excuses for the guy - clearly one has to own up for one's actions, especially when impaired. However, ambien is not "just sleeping pills". Despite Kennedy's past problems, I believe that it is possible those prescpription drugs (in recommended amounts) were the only things in his system.
It will be interesting to see if any consequences arise from his actions.
