The book "Senatorial Privilege" is an excellent recap of what happened, the cover-up and subsequent trial. If it were anyone else besides him driving (and he tried to convince his own cousin Ted Gargan to tell police he was the driver), they'd have been behind bars.What was he charged with? Was it in relation to the accident itself or not trying to save the girl in the car?
Seems like back then "accidental" deaths of this sort were often treated much lighter than today. IIRC didn't Bush the younger's wife kill someone in a car accident too (running a stop sign) or do I have that wrong?
