Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I agree with you, Dr. Todd Grande, that the Chappaquiddick Island tragedy was an accident due to drunkenness. But, Ted Kennedy could not have been staggering drunk because he had the wherewithal to plot his own self-interest. An ordinary man who did what he did would surely have been prosecuted, convicted, and sent to prison- at least for a short while. It is an outrage that he was let off by the courts and that Massachusetts voters kept re-electing him. It is also an outrage that the Kopeches didn't lambast him at the time. 20 years later, they expressed their bitterness and rancor towards him, but their love for their daughter should have caused them to do it at the time. Certainly in a life or death situation, one has the moral and legal obligation to do everything in the interest of the stricken person, but he thought only of himself. And granted, even if he had gone to the closest neighbor to get help and to call the police, it's very unlikely that Mary Jo could have been saved. Still, he had the moral obligation to try, no matter how slim the odds were. In an emergency, you go all-out to try to save the sticken person, period.

But now, Dr. Grande, after doing that excellent analysis, there's another case I'd like you to tackle, and that is: why didn't Robert Kennedy stand up to the men who killed his brother John? Robert Kennedy was good friends with Attorney Mark Lane, and no doubt, Lane was sharing with him all the reasons to doubt the official story. And let me point out to you and your readers that the way the JFK assassination is postured today is that either Lee Harvey Oswald did it as a lone gunman or he did it within a conspiracy. The idea that he didn't do it at all (which is the truth) is never recognized as a possibility within media circles. It's a forbidden thought. But, Oswald's innocence was Mark Lane's position which he laid out in writing on December 7, 1963 in "A Lawyer's Brief." So, why did Robert Kennedy choose to capitulate to the men who murdered his brother? Thank you.
