Fatal accident hearing
On July 23, 1969, the Registrar of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles informed Senator Kennedy that his license would be suspended until a statutory hearing could be held on the accident.[35] This suspension was required by Massachusetts law in any fatal motor accident where there were no witnesses. The in camera hearing was held on May 18, 1970. It found that "operation was too fast for existing conditions" in the accident. On May 27 the Registrar informed Sen. Kennedy in a letter that "I am unable to find that the fatal accident in which a motor vehicle operated by you was involved, was without serious fault on your part", and that as a result, his driver's license was suspended for a further six months.[36]
Why didn't the eyewitness save her then? Do you know what an eye witness is bravo?

The diver was there at the scene and I think his observations are pertinent....he was even a Kennedy supporter and voted for him and had no ax to grind....

the diver was at the scene, had experience diving for bodies....but somebody not at the scene, who only determined she drowned, knows better
By eyewitness, I refer to the diver that personally saw the women in car, in the water, as opposed to a body lying a slab in a morgue....he was a witness to the accident scene .... I'm sure you knew what I meant....so don't be ass...so far you've been quite civil in discussing this...
I see people in shock all the time, and his excuse at the inquest wasn't that he didn't think of it he said, "I was completely convinced at that time that no further help and assistance would do Mary Jo any more good. I realized that she must be drowned and still in the car at this time, and it appeared the question in my mind that time was, what should be done about the accident."
It was not that he was in such shock that he couldn't think of calling for help. The question in his mind was "what should be done"...
There is also the matter of the testimony of John Farrar who found the body of Mary Jo, in a position that he insists could have kept her alive for as long as two hours breathing from the bubble of air at the back end of the car.
There was also the matter that the driver's side window was at the bank and he must have escaped over Mary Jo, and his testimony that he remembered fighting with her kicking him...
Seriously, this guy got away with what would send anybody else to prison, then later got all moralistic about "two tiers" of justice when Ford pardoned Nixon. Every free breath of his was testimony to that two tier system.

an eyewitness to the accident scene hours after the accident is not the same thing as an eyewitness to the accident.
I am sure that even an old fart like you can figure out the difference.
Well, consider....
The person you hold as some authority, did nothing....he just looked at the body, much the same way you or I would...he was not allowed to autopsy the girl...his observation amounts to nothing in reality....

Really, so all those who rule the cause of death without an autopsy have no authority to do so?
I see...
According to his own testimony, Kennedy swam across the 500-foot channel, back to Edgartown and returned to his hotel room, where he removed his clothes and collapsed on his bed.[12] Hearing noises, he later put on dry clothes and asked someone what the time was: it was something like 2:30 a.m., the senator recalled. He testified that, as the night went on, "I almost tossed and turned and walked around that room ... I had not given up hope all night long that, by some miracle, Mary Jo would have escaped from the car."[13]
Back at his hotel, Kennedy complained at 2:55 am to the hotel owner that he had been awoken by a noisy party.[2] By 7:30 am the next morning he was talking "casually" to the winner of the previous day's sailing race, with no indication that anything was amiss.[2] At 8 a.m., Gargan and Markham joined Kennedy at his hotel where they had a "heated conversation." According to Kennedy's testimony, the two men asked why he had not reported the accident. Kennedy responded by telling them "about my own thoughts and feelings as I swam across that channel ... that somehow when they arrived in the morning that they were going to say that Mary Jo was still alive".[13]
This arouses no suspicions in your tiny little minds.....??? Its bullshit right from the bullshiters testimony....

The Medical Examiner's report says that she died solely from drowning.
Your beginning to sound like a fool....don't make claims I said something I didn't say....shes in a car filled with water, under the water....most people would come to the conclusion she drown....especiallywhen the observer isn't allowed to make a more detailed examination....you don't need to be a doctor to come to that conclusion....
I'm sure even you, if you see a man fall from 10 stories up would come to the conclusion that the sudden stop killed the man if you were prevented from any further examination....

Well, yes, they agree with yours...so it is natural for you to make this statement, but sorry, Tom has no proof of this, it is all conjecture.
