Judge James Boyle ruled that there was probable cause that Kennedy had committed a crime, but declined to issue an arrest warrant. District Attorney Edmund Dinnis chose not to prosecute him for manslaughter. And then, Boyle even had the temerity to claim that Kennedy “has already been, and will continue to be punished far beyond anything this court can impose.” In reality, it was Americans who were punished. It showed that equal protection under the law is a fairy tale. The people of Massachusetts continued to re-elect Kennedy to the Senate until his death in 2009. And although Kennedy couldn’t overcome the accident to become President, he became one of the Democratic Party’s leading Senators and used his influence and power to force upon Americans a number of egregious statist policies and laws, not the least of which is Obamacare. personalliberty/2013/07/18/kennedy-and-chappaquiddick/
