I remember the grief of Mary Jo’s parents.
Hopefully, they passed away without knowing she was pregnant. How awful.
I'm not certain what they showed was all grief. I remember the parents wouldn't allow any autopsy. It's never been successfully explained to me why they should have been granted the choice. From what was known at the time it should have been a coroner's case with autopsy mandatory. But somehow the legal niceties, like the later 'discovered,' but much ignored, fact that Teddy was driving with a lapsed license, thus upping his deserved charge. At least, after all these years, Massachusetts is back to having only one untried felon illegitimately serving in the Senate.
