1969: Kennedy pleads guilty over car crash

Senator Edward Kennedy has pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a crime and has been sentenced to a two-month suspended jail sentence.

The verdict follows a tragic car accident on the island of Chappaquiddick, east of Martha's Vineyard, a week ago in which 29-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne was drowned.

Ms Kopechne was a former secretary to Senator Kennedy's late brother Robert.

Senator Kennedy was driving back to Edgartown, the main town on Martha's Vineyard, from a party on Chappaquiddick when his car careered off a narrow bridge and into a creek.

He managed to escape from the vehicle but Mary Jo was killed.

He did not report the incident to Martha's Vineyard police until the next morning, some eight hours after the accident.
