![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Damore went on to write 'Senatorial Privilege: The Chappaquiddick Coverup'. In fact the same District Attorney investigated both cases. Costa's attorney presented a defense of temporary insanity due to Costa's drug use, and tried to blame Costa's doctor for his drug dependency.Īround this time is when Ted Kennedy had his infamous accident that killed Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick-only about 50 miles from where the events in this book took place. Costa couldn't afford representation, so part of his attorney's deal was the right's to any proceeds from a book written about Costa and his trial. The book is unusual because much of the research conducted and presented in the book was done by Costa's defense. Most likely he killed two other women who's bodies were found in the same area, but he didn't go to trial for those killings. This is the story of Tony Costa who was convicted of killing two women in the Cape Cod area in 1969. The third star is for the incredible amount of research Damore went through-whether all the research needed to be presented in a book is debatable. Readability I only give this book a two star rating. ![]() I can only attribute that to the notoriety of the author. I know it's out of print, but just saw the cheapest used copy on Amazon is $240.99. This beat-up paperback still has the receipt from the used bookstore where I bought it for $3.23 in 1994. ![]()
