There's no statute of limitations on murder, but there is still double jeopardy. Kennedy was tried and convicted for misdemeanor offenses arising from the accident. The prosecution cannot come back and raise the bar.

Double jeopardy is very rarely overturned. One instance involved a case were the defendant had bribed the judge. The prosecution successfully argued that no real jeopardy ever attached. That the Massachusetts judiciary and law enforcement were in the satchel for Kennedy in 1969 is clear beyond peradventure. Absent clear evidence of bribery or other undo influence, you're not going to get another crack at him.
