The foreman in the grand jury that didn't indict US Sen. Edward M. Kennedy after his Oldsmobile sedan veered off a narrow bridge on Chappaquiddick Island on July 18, 1969 says he's still frustrated justice wasn't served for 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne who died.
Kennedy, 37, survived, following the incident where his car plunged off an extension of the resort island of Martha's Vineyard and into a moonlit pond 50 years ago Thursday but the Massachusetts Democrat waited 10 hours to report the accident to police, and the 'whys?' dogged him for the rest of his days.
Half a century later, what did and didn't happen on Chappaquiddick Island continues to fascinate and Leslie Leland - who was a young pharmacist when he was swept up in the aftermath - continues to be annoyed by the judge's refusal to subpoena anyone who was at the party they had attended that night.

That SOB is in HELL now. So he didn't get away with ANYTHING. Besides. His ENTIRE family is cursed.
ReplyDeleteThe judge was another Kennedy tool. If they'd have had it their way, the case would never have made it to court.
ReplyDeleteIf you remember the whole story did not come out until he died. We didn't know that he could have saved her. She was tramped in the car while the car was filling up with water. He left her to die a horrible death. Yet his life moved on and he was always honored in Congress. Disgusting. Just like like today's Democrats.
ReplyDeleteThe book " bridge at Chappaquiddick" is a good book real interesting about that POS Ted Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteThe Jury was told that just like all of the witnesses to the JFK 2nd. shooter died of cancer, so could they.
