Dispute Delays Release Of Kopechne Inquest Report
Boston UPI reported that the transcript and judge s report from the Kopechne inquest are blocked by a dispute over distribution. The Massachusetts Supreme Court ordered a clerk not to release the 764 page transcript and 12 page report until further notice. Lipman seeks to sell copies at 1 05 per page, about ten times the nominal fee planned by the clerk. The court laid ground rules for impoundment pending possible prosecution. The case stemmed from Mary Jo Kopechne s death after a car driven by Senator Edward M Kennedy plunged into a tidal pond on Chappaquiddick Island last July. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene with a suspended sentence and faced possible manslaughter charges previously.
