One only has to know that this took place in Kennedy’s Massachusetts.

I disagree.

I lived in the belly of the beast for 22 years. I know how corrupt Massachusetts is, and I also know how "the system" works.

Getting routine government services depends on who you know. Getting a favor depends on who you're "with", and, depending how big the favor is, it depends on who you are with is with.

But murder and assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon?

THAT, "the system" can't take care of (unless you ARE a Kennedy). A favor that can get the favor giver in trouble is very, very expensive, even in Massachusetts.

Unless sex or money is involved, I would say what happened to Amy Bishop was not possible, even in 1986 Massachusetts.
