Lmao, the dude killed a woman. He should be memory holed as the piece of shit he was.

Right? Especially when the way the car went into the water meant that she was alive in an air pocket for upwards of 4 hours at minimum while teddy went to sleep it off and pretend nothing happened until someone saw the car in the water the next day on their own….even then he still stalled for time so the Kennedy family’s fixers could get to work spinning the story before he said anything on the record to anyone

I know. He fucked up in a lot of different ways. I am not defending that or the fact that he did not face justice. He could have remain stuck in that selfish, antisocial, addicted pattern, but eventually he improved and did good with his life

You can debate whether this person should have been given those second chances, but the fact is, society benefits from mercy; society suffers when the redeemable are discarded
