I went to the hearing that occurred in Connecticut a few years ago in which he testified under oath.He blamed "two black guys"...the live-in tutor that they had...and his own brother.A child could tell that he was lying through his teeth.

I'm not a lawyer but it's easy to imagine that they won't try to try him again.So unlike OJ,who did about two years for killing two,Skakel did eleven years for killing one.Don't know how long Robert Blake did however.

On the plus side I got to talk to Martha's mother for a few minutes during a break in the proceedings.A delightful,determined,woman for sure.

Ridiculous.

Oh it’s CT, never mind. These governing assholes live in a different reality.

Yep, he did it. He was in the habit of climbing the tree outside her bedroom late at night and masturbating. When she repulsed his persistent advances, he battered her to death with a golf club. There’s something grievously amiss with the male side of that benighted clan.

Gerald Celente calls the Justice system the “Just Us” system. One for them, and one for us.

I would love to see a REAL justice warrior finish this. Golf club would do.

If you look closer you'll find that he only adopted that alibi in the 1990s...*after* DNA became an important factor in criminal trials.

IOW...he was lying through his teeth on that point as well in order to explain the possible presence of his DNA at the scene.

I don’t think he has any Kennedy blood...but he still benefits from being related to some of the Kennedy clan.

Mark Fuhrman wrote an excellent book on the case, “Murder in Greenwich”.

In light of this, anyone who goes anywhere near a Kennedy gets what they deserve.

The entire family is nothing but a bunch of degenerates, even the women. This is one family that needs genociding down the very last bit of DNA.

Life to a Liberal of the ruling class is disposable. Law is irrelevant. I hate the Kennedy Crime Family from Bootlegging to Rape and Murder with everything in between. It’s no different with the Clinton Crime Family.

“Martha McCallum had her brother on, and then Geraldo who claims he knows better than anybody and that Skakel is innocent...”

Well, that settles it. If Whorealdo says he’s innocent, we don’t have to look any further. It never ceases to amaze me that that douchebag stays on the air.

Well, at least Nevada put him it prison in Lovelock for NINE years, and prison is prison no matter who puts you there.
