Judge Denies Motion by Kopechne Parents in Autopsy Petition
Wilkes Barre Pa AP A Pennsylvania judge refused to block an exhumation petition over Kopechne death while ordering prosecutor Dinis to show within 20 days how an autopsy would resolve doubts. The Edgartown Mass inquest was postponed as Kennedy attorneys press constitutional challenges. The ruling delayed the inquest and left Edgartown in a calmer post Labor Day mood as authorities prepare for a possible later hearing.
