I did not remember that Skakel and Martha were both only 15 years old at the time.

Did Skakel wear a neck brace to his trial?

So, he was FREE for 27 years PRIOR to his conviction, served 16 years, and is now FREE again?
I guess now his only choice is to run for office! *SPIT*

a 2018 decision by Connecticuts highest court throwing out Skakels conviction will stand. Connecticuts highest court based its decision on Skakels attorneys failure to seek out an additional alibi witness.Failed to SEEK OUT? Is there any reason to think "an additional alibi witness" existed?

Connecticuts Supreme Court reinstated Skakels conviction in December 2016, ruling 4-3 that Skakel was adequately represented. That decision didnt last. After the justice who wrote the majority opinion retired, Skakel asked that the decision be reconsidered, and the court reversed its decision."Your Honor, you can retire ... or mysteriously disappear."

Skakel was a tree-climbing master-debater.

The cops found his freaking --how do I put this politely?-- DNA at the scene..!
His alibi:
"I was up in a tree, peering through her window, M*STURBATING".
No, I'm serious.
Sounds like an alibi only a Kennedy would have, right..?
And he said that cuz he and his lawyer knew the cops had his, uh, DNA, so he'd have to account for it.

A few years ago I attended the hearings in which Skakel was requesting a new trial.It was only a 2 hour drive from me and I wasn't working at the time.
I was sitting about 30 feet from Skakel when he claimed,under oath,that "two black guys" killed her,that their new live in "tutor" killed her,and that *his own brother* killed her.
I did get to talk to Dorthy Moxley for a minute of two...the nicest lady you could ever meet.
Well,another Kennedy skates.He did some time (about 10 years) but he didn't do *nearly* enough.A lot like OJ when you think of it.

I’ve been to the murder scene, in the late 1970’s. Not just gated, guarded community with one access road.
Had to be someone living on this little peninsula in Long Island Sound.
Michael liked her, but she made out with his brother.
She was killed with a golf club from the Skakel’s yard. Had to be someone in a very small area. Too bad you can’t haul all of the residents in for questioning.

Both 15. Her father died shortly thereafter as this broke his heart. He was in his early 50s. Bottom line: The Greenwich police stood down. It was Domenic Dunnes fictionalized account of the murder which ultimately caught the attention of former LA detective Mark Furman.
Furman did the leg work and reported the truth leading to Skakels trial.

Pretty much, all the license one needs to do to commit heinous and vicious crime, or murder, is to be related to a democrat politician. Literally.
How is this not true?
In this case, the “case” is thrown, because of a bad defense?
If this is the case, a case should be brought forward to investigate conspiracy. Quite possibly more than one.
So what of the brutally murdered young girl? Or her family?
The system which allows this, is guilty of the same immorality
- Oh well, one less mouth to feed.
No truly moral court would just blow off the murder of a young girl, even on a likely purposeful technicality.
Without morality, liberty ceases to exist.
