...Didn't He Call the Police In all accounts of the accident, the most mysterious gap?and unquestionably the most serious?was in what happened next. Why did he not immediately summon the police or a fire department rescue crew? "My conduct and conversation during the next several hours," Kennedy told the TV audience, "to the extent that I can remember them, make no sense to me at all. My doctors informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion as well as shock. I do not seek to escape responsibility for my actions by placing the blame either on physical...
...breaking point is," says Dr. Max Sadove, professor at the University of Illinois Medical School. "It is different at different times for different people." Nevertheless, it remains somewhat difficult to accept the thought that Kennedy's state of shock could have allowed him the rational move of calling on his friends for help and giving them various instructions but would have prevented him from making the equally rational move of instructing them to call the police...
...Didn't Gargan and Markham Call the Police? Assuming that Kennedy was in a state of shock, the conduct of Gargan and Markham is nothing less than incomprehensible. They are both lawyers, although Gargan is used by Kennedy largely as companion for carrying out miscellaneous chores?making reservations, ordering food, emptying glasses and drawing baths. Though under no legal compulsion to do so, the two men could reasonably be expected to have called the police immediately if they were thinking of the girl. Not only would Mary Jo's body have been recovered faster, but her life might conceivably have...
...Beyond what would seem to be a natural instinct to get help quickly, a prompt call to the police would have saved Kennedy from some of the innuendo that followed?if indeed he was innocent of drunkenness. One minor point not explained in any statement is how the two men?after undergoing the experience Kennedy describes?could return to the small group and arouse no curiosity. Kennedy says only that he instructed them "not to alarm Mary Jo's friends." As it is, the suspicion is bound to linger that the only reason the two men did not call...
Inundated with telephone calls and telegrams charging that Kennedy was not receiving the same scrutiny anyone else might have, Arena heatedly said to newsmen: "Let me tell you?he is being treated the same as everyone else." This hardly seems to have been the case. According to John Farrar, the diver who retrieved Mary Jo's body the next morning after an islander had reported the submerged car and after Arena had himself made an unsuccessful attempt to recover the body, the chief was informed that Kennedy was waiting for him back at Edgartown. By this time Arena knew that...
