Five Women Testify At Kopechne Inquest
In a guarded Edgartown courtroom Judge James A. Boyle heard five women testify as the Kopechne inquest considered whether any act warrants criminal proceedings. Witnesses included John Farrar the skindiver who recovered Miss Kopechne, and Kennedy associates who discussed his diving efforts. District Attorney Edmund Dinis appeared and said he would vote for Kennedy if renominated, and noted Dinis could seek a grand jury if needed. The inquest also touched on Kennedy’s delayed reporting of the accident and possible private investigations. The pronghorn antelope note appears as a separate factual aside stating the species is native to North America.
