Teddy's description of the Chappaquiddick "accident" was enough to convict him of involuntary and voluntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment.
Today you can add homicide by vehicle while intoxicated, a mandatory three-year prison term in most states.
The facts are simple. Kennedy drove fast, probably drunk, off a bridge at about 11:30 P.M. The pond was only about six feet deep. The front end of the car was angled down.
Kennedy walked away, went to his hotel, and waited until the next morning to report to the police. The car was discovered by two boys fishing in the morning. The boys, unlike Teddy, went to a nearby house to report the car in the water. Had Teddy done this instead of leaving, Mary Jo Kopechne probably would have been saved.
Kennedy spent the night at his hotel room drying out so there would be no alcohol in his system, and to fabricate with his fixers the statement he gave the police. During the time Kennedy was at his hotel with his fixers, Mary Jo died from suffocation.

Ted's father was rich and connected, and connected to the mob. Joeseph once said 'there will always be a Kennedy in that seat (Congress) because he paid for it.
ReplyDeleteThe mob helped get his son JFK elected to president, but then the mob was double-crossed by JFK and his brother Bobby. Hence both their assassinations.
And then there was the Teamsters, namely Hoffa who hated the Kennedy's added to the mix. JFK even shared a woman with a Don in the mafia, both having sexual relations with her, at different times.
JFK is often hailed as a hero but he was not squeaky clean as most imagine he was.
I remember this tragedy as if it were yesterday. Followed all that transpired as much as possible. Watched the evil, corrupt Kennedy try to make the best of this horrible incident of his making. Viewed and listened to the lying, fake news media help him in his 'web making'...
ReplyDeleteIf we had the internet and social media available to us at that time he would NOT have gotten away with this.
Read the first book to come out after this happened and realized the true evil in this man's heart. Felt so bad for her parents. Amazing how these same things are happening today under the Clinton's and others...
I saw a forensic analysis of Mary Jo and it appears as though she lived approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes after the accident. Plenty of time for Teddy boy to get help.
ReplyDeleteIt has always been difficult for me to comprehend how in the heck he had a district of people who elected him to govern.
And now the Clinton's have taken over as one of the worst Criminal Families in DC.
ReplyDeleteThere, right above with the Clinton's now being the worst fam. I asked WHY a story about the Kennedy's was truly relevant (still am) and that there are no Kennedy's left to muck up anything!
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, a true discussion about Jake the Boy Mayor needs to continue! WHY? He's MUCKING up everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazes me the need to fully explain some of my submissions - I'm ON the right SIDE of reality!!!
TRUMP!
TRUMP!
TRUMP!
The problem is that most people under 35 have never heard of Ted Kennedy, much less his actions at Chappaquiddick.
ReplyDeletewow, this just happened with a local attorney!

Answer: Die Hard Liberal Democrats that would & will vote for Satan if he runs on a Democrat ticket
Amen!
DeleteYou people watch too much conspiracy TV. Every Presidency and holder of public office is flawed and up to no good and beholding to backers and political machines that serve not the people but their own interests left and right. Just look at politics on your local level beyond the social aspects and little butt hurt hopes and you will find the same sort of attention seeking and prospering characters. There is nothing altruistic about Democracy or the Republic. It has never been by or for the people.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Joe Kennedy, nothing was to stand in the way of his boys' political success.
ReplyDeleteTed Kennedy was also unable to pass the bar exam to become a lawyer after 3 tries after his family paid big bucks to put him through a prestigious law school. Ted was too stupid to pass.
ReplyDeleteThe Kennedy family fortune was made on bootlegging booze during prohibition.
The entire Kennedy family was corrupt scum.
and democrats still idolize the drunken gross pervert. More proof that democrats are such vulgar uncivilized garbage.
ReplyDeleteThis event was the confirmation to all Democrats that they can get away with anything-as long as they stick together.

ReplyDeleteAnd "you people" dismiss too much because it may seem like a "conspiracy".
Of course, it's a conspiracy. With many people involved, many bad people. This event did in fact happen. And we STILL don't know for certain who it involved. Why? Because there was another CONSPIRACY to cover up the facts for what, 50 years?
We now know who killed Hoffa and what happened to his body and why his body was never found. We are now beginning to find out what really happened to JFK. You couldn't have covered all this up without a conspiracy. Most of the people involved in that conspiracy are now dead. That's why it is beginning to open up.
You can smirk at, begrudge, dismiss things all you want. It will not alter facts.
