Scheduled for release on April 6, the movie is about the drowning death of Mary Joe Kopechne, a native of Luzerne County, whose body is buried at Saint Vincent DePaul Cemetery in Larksville.


Edmund Dinis, the district attorney of Dukes County, MA where Mary Joe was killed, travelled to Luzerne County to try to get an exhumation order on Mary Joe's body, but judge Bernard Brominski, a democratic hack, denied the motion. If the autopsy had been allowed, it is likely that evidence of her survival for at least 2 hours after the car plunged in to water would be uncovered.


Nevertheless, this incident prevented Teddy from becoming president especially after he stumbled over questions on Chappaquiddick from Roger Mudd of CBS news.

It is too bad that they could not have made this movie right after Mary Jo's death. Here is a link to good old Wikipedia for those that do not remember: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_Kopechne. A truthful movie could have changed the face of history. Of course it could have changed it for the worse; but we will never know. It took this many years because of the wealth and power of the Kennedy family.

The Luzerne County coroner at the time was Dr. George E. Hudock, Jr., a well respected forensic pathologist. It was imperative that Dr. Hudock be kept from performing an autopsy on Mary Joe. If he had, it is likely that Kennedy would be charged with negligent homicide and then serve quality jail time. Mary Joe's parents probably received a large payoff from the Kennedy family for opposing the autopsy.

The post you are referring to has been deleted
Welcome to the forum! I do have to warn you that our moderator will delete your post if you bring in National politics. If you want to talk about politics you can go to this forum: http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...controversies/. Of course all of us have been disciplined from time to time. Just try to keep you comments centered on NEPA when you are here. Since Mary Jo was from our area; that makes it a legitimate subject for our forum (as long as we do not get too far afield).

Our moderator does give us a little leeway and, like I stated, we are all guilty. I like to welcome new posters - we need new faces on here. I just don't want posters to get angry that they got deleted right off the start.

I remember Dr. Hudock. He was friends with my mother's employer, Dr. Walter Newman.

Oh, The National Inquirer, I'm sure that must be the true story...!

I missed that edition, was there any mention of Aliens landing in Washington DC?
bwahaha
