Justice may finally be done in this case in spite of the Kennedys. Kudos to Mark Furhman and everyone else who brought this about.

I didn't think there was any statute of limitations on murder? I hope they let his conviction stand. The Kennedys make me sick! I guess just because Teddy got away with murder, this nut case thinks he should too.

I thought there was no statute of limitations where murder is concerned.

I am not terribly fond of the Kennedy's myself (see tagline) but this guy had an interesting argument that was not allowed at trial. He said that, since the crime was commited when he was a juvenile he should have been tried as a juvenile and subject only to the penalties a juvenile would face.

That is clearly not justice but it might be the law.

Stay away from the Kennedys......

Joe Sr. made a deal with Satan in 1929 and the outcome has been murder, rape and perversion.

My money says the Supremes won't even be tempted to hear this appeal. Skakel should rot in prison.

I didn't think there was a statue of limitations when it comes to murder, even in Mass......

The Kennedy's have enough money to keep this case in court forever.

Senator Kennedy to Sue Over Ambien Side Effects

The sleeping pill Ambien appears to unleash primitive desires to eat in some patients. It’s even been linked to unconscious food forays that cause these hapless souls to wolf down thousands of calories in the wee hours.

Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) asserts that he is one of those “hapless souls.” “For years I have been plagued by nightmares where I have this sensation of drowning,” said Kennedy. “I have taken Ambien to help me sleep. Over this same time period I have become grotesquely obese. Once I was a svelte heartthrob, able to establish close working relationships with my staff—especially the young campaign volunteers. Now I am bloated and repulsive. The manufacturers of Ambien have got to be made to take responsibility for this ugly turn of events.”

Kennedy says his lawyers haven’t yet put a dollar amount on the damages. “The loss to me and to the nation—I might’ve been president, you know—has been incalculable,” said Kennedy.

It is rumored that Kennedy is thinking of using his plight as a launching pad for a presidential bid. Political strategist Dick Morris, a former advisor to Bill Clinton, pointed out the possible leverage for Kennedy. “With the majority of Americans being overweight, Kennedy may tap into a potentially large sympathy vote,” said Morris. “A ‘we’re fat, but it’s not our fault’ campaign would exploit the Democrats’ basic vision of voters as victims. As an admitted fellow victim, Senator Kennedy would more effectively embody this ideal.”

“The important issue here is justice,” said Kennedy. “Should a company be permitted to simply walk away from the harm it has caused without having to bear any consequences?”

In related news, Kennedy relative Michael Skakel will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in a bid to overturn his conviction in the 1975 murder of his 15-year-old neighbor Martha Moxley. Skakel's lawyers argued that his crime is no worse than some of those committed by members of the U.S. Senate. “If the high-and-mighty go free, so should the low-and-pathetic,” said Skakel's attorney Howard Piffle.

Oops, looks like Reuters needs the benefit of Bonaparte's editorial touch...

    The powerful corrupt Kennedy family has faced battles with a long history of alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as suicides, courtroom dramas and tragic deaths and negligent homicide and adultery and sexual harassment and bootlegging and mental illness and giving aid and comfort to every dictator from Adolf Hitler to Ho Chi Minh.

There, that reads much better.

Ah yes. The Kennedys. Where would we be without them?

Why, they are almost as intelligent as movie stars.

My only regret is that the tagline wasn't long enough to include anything about Skakel and/or William Smith.
