Stick a bayonet in him just to be sure.

[Howie66]

HAHAHA I KNEW that this was coming! Good job!

[Maceman]

Mary Jo died for our country.

[Avalon Memories]

Ben, I’m sure sobering up was one of several reasons why Kennedy looked out for his own hide rather than getting help for Mary Jo. However, I don’t think blood alcohol levels were tested back then. I don’t think the equipment for it existed and am near certain laws setting legal limits did not exist. Even so, the fact is he got away with, at minimum, negligent homicide. I would argue manslaughter and maybe even 2nd degree since there was intent in deliberately not summoning help. Just another far left Dem who was above the law.

[bigbob]

He killed a woman and got away with it. That’s the true story of what happened.

Now serving an eternal sentence in the Kennedy Wing of Hell.

[dfwgator]

Day late and a dollar short.

[Mears]

You don’t “drive in” to Martha’s Vineyard from Boston.

Ted complained during the trial that Mary Jo was punching and hitting him as he got out of the car.

That was because he was standing on her and was using her as a step stool.

[Covenantor]

Yes they were testing, IIRC, first the field sobriety test and then breathalyzer, and most especially in cases of vehicular homicide.

[uptowngirl]

I think it’s a terrible idea to make the family of Mary Jo Kopechne live through this again. Everyone knows Kennedy was guilty, who even cares about this subject anymore.

[ml/nj]

there's no mystery about what happened

Not sure what you mean.

I don't believe anyone ever said they saw the Swimmer that night in wet clothing, yet he claims to have been in the car and later to have swam the channel back to Edgartown. (Not clear what clothing he was wearing or whether he ever changed it by the time he asked the hotel clerk in Edgartown for the time sometime in the early AM.)

I doubt that he was in the car when it fell into the water, and I doubt that he swam back to Edgartown. Teddy LIED.

[Pontiac]

Okay let’s say travel then.

[ExNewsExSpook]

Had to meet with his lawyers as well, and map out a legal strategy.

[OrangeHoof]

MA coroner: Kopechne died of “excessive salt water consumption”.

[OrangeHoof]

If this was an Oliver Stone movie, George Bush would have bumped Kennedy’s car from behind and sped off undetected.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Can anyone imagine the horror Mary Jo went through?

[InvisibleChurch]

I agree with dad. Slap the shit out of him.
