a 2018 decision by Connecticut’s highest court throwing out Skakel’s conviction will stand. Connecticut’s highest court based its decision on Skakel’s attorney’s failure to seek out an additional alibi witness.

Failed to SEEK OUT? Is there any reason to think "an additional alibi witness" existed?

“Failed to SEEK OUT? “

Same question here.

I guess from now on every defense atty in the country will “fail to seek out” for their more difficult to defend clients with the goal of getting their case overturned in appeal.

He had the best legal team money could buy and his conviction is thrown out because he supposedly had incompetent representation?! This is clear proof that the US judicial system is entirely corrupt to its core, and we can all see that this now includes even the Supreme Court!
