Mary Jo Kopechne thought he was “a man of his word” too... right up to the moment her left in the car at the bottom of a pond...
God bless the Internet.
“Mary Jo Kopechne thought he was a man of his word too... right up to the moment her left in the car at the bottom of a pond...”
At low tide, which cost an MIT professor his job.
In his testimony, in trying to explain why he fled the scene, he claimed that as he was exiting the car Mary Jo was punching and pushing him. Poor guy! Supposedly he was getting beat up by her.
Truth is he was standing on her in order to get out of the car. And then, he did not bother to grab her hand to help her out.
