Chappaquiddick - July 21, 1969
Happy Chappaquiddick Anniversary to Sen. Ted Kennedy...
yTedK.com is NOT likely to be Ted Kennedy's favorite website:
"Chappaquiddick has been called 'the most brilliant cover-up ever achieved in a nation where investigative procedures are well developed and where the principles of equal justice prevail, at least during some of those moments where people are watching.'
~ The Last Kennedy by Robert Sherrill
The mysteries of the case continue to haunt Ted Kennedy as well as the authorities who investigated them. Charges of ineptitude and lack of diligence abounded, as did insinuations that the machinery of justice crumbled beneath the power and prestige of the Kennedy family. George Killen, former State Police Detective-Lieutenant, and chief of a never-revealed investigation, lamented that the failure to bring the case to a satisfactory conclusion was "the biggest mistake" of a long and distinguished police career. Senator Kennedy, he said, 'killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger.'
~ Senatorial Privilege by Leo Damore"
