"confused and turned the wrong way"...can you say "black-out"?
How about drunk.
The truth is so simple - even for someone who was only 2 days old at the time of this accident murder. Teddy had been drinking (24/7 activity), and drove into the water - and waited so long to make sure she was dead - she couldn't testify to his not trying to help her....
Did ole' Teddy have another reason to murder this young lady - quite possible, but that part isn't quite as simple....
Why this sick drunk has been re-elected so many times is a true puzzle to me - how could even people of Mass. be THAT blind and stupid? Probably the pork he brings home.
Amazing how the representation of "justice" is a blindfolded woman holding scales - when this case just proved, even 35 years ago, that justice is definitely NOT blind.
