12. Ted’s Issues Didn’t Stop There
Not only did Ted have legal and moral issues regarding the crash, his wife, Joan Bennett, also had trouble conceiving children before the incident. Fertility issues can cause problems within marriages because of the emotional toll it takes on the prospective parents. The couple had experienced two miscarriages before the Chappaquiddick incident and a third one following it. Joan stood by her husband’s side through the whole court processes and until 1982 when the couple divorced.
