Chappaquiddick

You know what happened at Chappaquiddick ... or do you? The accusations and theories abound: Senator Ted Kennedy killed a woman and covered up the murder; Teddy was the victim of a media smear; a group of licentious married men and lascivious woman attended the party; Mary Jo lingered for hours in the cold dark water; Kennedy was extremely intoxicated; Kennedy was sober, in charge, and deliberately concealed the truth; the medical examiner failed to do his duty; the. District attorney was in the pockets of the Kennedy family and the Kennedys bought off the Kopechnes. What you "know" has been influenced by two decades of sloppy reporting, political character assassination, and a profound ignorance of forensic evidence and the law on the part of those attempting to form your opinions. What those biased reporters did not know includes: the physiology of drowning; the laws of Massachusetts regarding traffic, inquests, and autopsies in. 1969; the difference between the standard for an autopsy and the standard for an exhumation; the true character of Mary Jo Kopechne; and the construction of a 1967 Oldsmobile. These so-called reporters were also unaware of what the physical evidence at the accident site indicated; what was preoccupying the district attorney; and what exactly Kennedy's friends were trying to hide. In Chappaquiddick: The Real Story, the authors bring a refreshing political neutrality, Legal and forensic knowledge, and thorough research into all the evidence and all the theories on this badly abused subject. Their conclusions will surprise you.
