Sounds Like a Bad Movie

Mary was a secretary from Pennsylvania. She attended a party made up of six married men and six single women, crowded into a small living room. There was plenty of alcohol, the host reports buying three half gallons of vodka, four fifths of scotch, two bottles of rum and two cases of beer for the party. After midnight everyone was leaving and one of the married men left with Mary even though his license had been expired for five months and he had numerous amounts of warrants out for reckless driving, running red-lights and speeding. He reported later he made a “wrong turn” even though he had taken the same road two times that day) and he ran the car off a small bridge into a pond and the car turned up side down with Mary in it. The man said he was dazed by the accident, laid on the bank for 15 or 20 minutes then, not seeing any lights, decided to walk, run and jog back to the nearest town---yelling all the way. People who lived near the pond said their porch lights could be seen from the bridge and people along the road he said he ran down, slept with their windows open and they never heard a thing. The man who said he walked, ran and jogged all the way to town, went to his hotel room, changed his clothes and went downstairs to complain about a noisy party that was going on (there were eyewitness accounts to this).

The car was discovered by fishermen at 8am the next morning and the police divers found Mary, her head was cocked back, her face pressed into the footwell of the car. She had been alive for nearly two hours after the accident and breathing the air left in an air-pocket. The pond was only 6-8 feet deep. Had the man tried to save her, knock out a window or even gone for help – she could have been saved.

Not only did he NOT go for help, he showed up to meet some colleagues the next morning in a jovial mood. The mood didn’t last long when they told him what the police had found he had them drive him to the police station to report the accident. A week later he arrived in court wearing a neck brace, pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and was given a two-month suspended sentence and a year's probation.

How would you feel about the injustice of this?? Mary’s parents signed a petition preventing an autopsy…why?

Would you be surprised to find out the man was Ted Kennedy? Mary Jo Kopechne was the girl who died and this all happened at Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts. Too many people have forgotten or were too young to remember. This was an injustice and Ted Kennedy should have been forced to give up politics. His wealthy and influential family changed the rules for him and he still is a “big wig” in the senate. Why did her parents refuse an autopsy? I would like to know……
-Was she pregnant?
-Did she know something about Robert Kennedy’s assassination? (She had been his secretary)
-Who asked those parents to refuse the autopsy? Wouldn’t you want to know about your own daughter’s death?
-How can Ted Kennedy decide laws and be influential in Washington with a murder to his name?
-Why haven't people risen up and said "get out of the senate" years ago???
