1969, Chappaquiddick, Martha’s Vineyard: Mary Jo Kopechne is the unsuspecting victim of a fatal car accident. The driver is Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy. This is a story that details the investigation, inquest,and grand jury deliberations into the young woman’s untimely death. Leslie H. Leland, jury foreman, gives his own account of how the entire grand jury was stymied in seeking evidence relating to the accident caused by Senator Ted Kennedy and the threats made on his and his family’s lives. A never before reported analysis of how the grand jury was denied its own legal rights, Left to Die is one example of how power and corruption can override America’s justice system. Upon hearing the details, one judge stated, 'That was not only intimidation, that was tampering with the grand jury.'The grand jury attempted to investigate the accident but was stymied by the DA and judge unwilling to cross the Kennedys.

Wow! - K.E. Amazon.comThe American justice system is responsible for maintaining social control, deterring crime, and sentencing those who violate laws with penalties.
