I bet Uncle Teddy thought he got off scot-free after paying Mary Jo Kopechne's family around $150,000 to shut up and then being elected to the Senate.
I bet he thought it would be nothing in 40 years, that everyone would have forgotten that party in the boonies where an unknown girl died because he was drunk and had to sleep it off while she stayed trapped in a car, and drowned...
I bet Uncle Teddy thought we were all fooled by that neck brace BS, that we'd all just forgive and forget.
Too bad that the only person he can truly ask forgiveness from, he killed. I'd love to hear Mary Jo's recollection of what exactly happened that night.
Mary Jo was a "little person," an unknown woman, a "nobody."
One of those people Kennedy claims to speak for...well, she didn't get spoken for, and she's dead. One of the "little people Uncle Teddy forgot, apparently.
Bad news, Uncle Teddy: I haven't forgotten. It took a looooong time for your cousin to face prison after killing Martha. You may not face prison, but I will remember Mary Jo.
I've always thought there was more to this accident than what we've been told...I've never seen much about this in print or spoken of in the media, but were there suspicions that T.K. was having an affair with Mary Jo K. and that she may have been pregnant, and that he deliberately left her to drown to get rid of his "problem." If I'm way off-base here, please set me straight.

I think he, and his sycophants, believe that he has paid dearly - because he was on track to the presidency and this "unfortunate event" derailed him.
He and they "feel" that he is a victim! (As all good dems must feel about something or other.)
there is no statute of limitations on murder in MA.... we could STILL go after him just like his cousin Skakel

But maybe it's not her recollection of what happened that night that got her killed. Maybe it's her recollection of another night, another day, another affair, a different crime ...
