I hate Teddy Kennedy. But he did not deliberately kill Mary Jo Kopechne. What he did was panic after after something bad happened, thinking only of his own skin (read "career") and exposing a yellow streak within his own personality. He ran away in order to save his own ass, asking his own cousin to take the rap for him. Joe Gargan did the Kennedy family and his own personal honor a favor by refusing to go along with Teddy's stupid plan.

It was negligent homocide, not first degree murder. I'm not sure that what he did wasn't worse than first degree murder because the woman died due to Kennedy's cowardice; he obviously has been living with guilt ever since, which I have no sympathy for, and that guilt is exemplified in his own behavior with respect to alcohol.

He should have been convicted in Edgartown shortly after this incident; the Sheriff there tried to deal with him in the proper manner, but you know what they say about Kennedy wealth and influence.

And to this day the fat bastard hasn't even apologized to her family.

Amen!

he obviously has been living with guilt ever since

I don't believe that, and never will. You have to have a conscience to feel guilt.

As far as trying to split hairs about whether or not it was intentional, in my eyes, it was murder.... pure and simple.

What about getting a highway billboad (or several) where this SOB regularly passes and put THAT on it. I'd pitch in.

Mary Jo Kopechne was a cousin of a friend of mine in high school.

Her nose was stuck in an air pocket. When she was autopsied (sp), she had a cup of water in her lungs. She didn't drown, she suffocated. She was in the back seat. Her hands curled like claws on the upper front seat of the car. It looked like she expected to be saved.

I wonder if he feels any guilt. Kennedys never seem to feel much guilt for anything they do, not the one who was raping the babysitter either.

This should be read on the floor of the Senate.

She did not have a cup of water in her lungs. It was approx. 1/4 cup of water.

She was found with her nose pointed into the rear seat foot well, where a rear seat passenger's heels would be located when sitting normally in the car, but in this situation, it was the last, highest reservoir of air in the car.

The car was inverted, tail end up.

Her fingers were curled over the lower front lip of the rear seat bottom. Thus, she was trying to hold herself, her nose, in that pocket of air.

At the minimum, she lived 40 minutes. At the maximum, possibly 5 hours.

THANK YOU!!!!

Now, if we could only bring the sycophantic 'GEN X'ers, GEN Y'ers and GEN Z'ers' into the know about:

'HANOI" JOHN KERRY & HIS 'DISSERVICE' TO VETS AFTER NAM

'HANOI' JANE FONDA AND HER SUPPORT OF KERRY AND HIS VVAW ORG AND ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT DURING (AND AFTER) VIET NAM

SEN. ROBERT "SHEETS" BYRD (D-W VA) AND HIS PREVIOUS AFFLIATION WITH THE KKK

...........anyone have others??

[First_Salute]

In addition, she had strained for so long in that position, her body was locked in it, her fingers locked over that seat lip.

Ted Kennedy's cousin, Joe Gargan, is culpable in having left the scene of a crime.
