Senator Edward Kennedy makes a testament on the events that lead to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
She was a passenger in his car when he drove off Dyke Bridge into the channel between Chappaquiddick Island and Martha's Vineyard in 1969.
The Senator swam to safety, but Kopechne drowned. He did not report the accident until the following day.
He pleaded guilty to leaving a scene of crime and received a two-month suspended sentence.
