“So why didn’t Mary Jo Kopechne’s family sue?”
Seriously? LOL!
When one priest came to visit (”console”?) them, he was an emissary of the Kennedy Crime Family and passed on an offer they couldn’t refuse, i.e., STFU and you get to live. Also $$$.
I worked near Wilkes-Barre, PA, in ‘68 - ‘71. Some of my co-workers had gone to school with MJK. Also, W-B is a small town at heart and everybody knew everybody else. It seemed to be common knowledge. Perhaps it was rumor, but it was consistent.
Sounds believable…especially in light of what we’ve learned since.
