She suffocated, right? Her nose was in an air pocket. I was told one thing, and you were told another or found out something different. It makes no difference, she suffocated and she could have been rescued.
Whether she lived 40 minutes or five hours, it was a horrible and unnecessary death and I hate those phony "noblesse oblige" bastard Kennedys for it.
The description is that of the SCUBA diver, Farrar, who found her.
Yes, she did suffocate, but probably was in shock before death.
Yes, she most definitely could have been rescued.
The statute of limitations, both Commonwealth of Massachusetts and federal (the homicide occured within the federal jurisdiction of the "navigable rivers and waterways of the continental United States"), that sets the time during which charges can be brought, have expired in the Commonwealth's case, but I am not sure about federal.
Unfortunately, without actual charges having been filed, it is a legal stretch to publicly charge Ted Kennedy as a murderer, as such things are viewed by politicians.
Ted Kennedy is re-elected in Massachusetts, because enough of the voting system in the Commonwealth, is run by the AFL-CIO which also "owns" Ted Kennedy.
O. J. Simpson was charged with murder, so another person can publicly decry him as a "murderer."
Ted Kennedy was not charged, so a person decrying Ted Kennedy, in public, as a "murderer," could be sued by him with some success ... maybe ... in Massachusetts ... if only some people in Massachusetts would do that ... because Ted Kennedy would have to prove in court that he did not murder Mary Jo.
His defense would have to be the truth; he would have to establish the truth.
Hmm ...
