Here we go - I’m sure the fix is in for this scumbag to get out of his cage.

[USNBandit]

They must have some interesting pictures of the judge.

[1010RD]

So the best attorney money could buy didn’t cut it. Now, out of the spotlight, it’s the old fixeroo.

Kennedy cousin Skakel wins new trial in 1975 death

Obviously, the Kennedys finally "got to" the judge. After years of trying, this powerful family finally found a judge they could influance. Disgraceful!!

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I remember seeing him in his trial pictures wearing an ascot. Pompous, arrogant SOB.

For what he put the Moxley family through, I hope he was a human pinata in prison.

[ElkGroveDan]

I’m so sick of this story.

[Lmo56]

You gotta be freakin' kidding - Conn. residents in the hoity-toity regions of Connecticut HATE this guy!

And he's NOT a REAL Kennedy - he'll be re-convicted unless they move the trial to Stamford, where they can get a "Low Information Jury" from the overflows who couldn't get into the latest taping of Maury ...

[skinkinthegrass]

All charges..are soon to be dismissed.
(it's too d@nm expensive)
He's an Kennedy...for sure.
"the elites", can't / must not be brothered.

[PghBaldy]

The way the trial was handled seemed shady to me, IIRC, even if the guy is guilty.

[Lancey Howard]

Skakel, the 52-year-old nephew of Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel Kennedy.

??

Wouldn't that make him the nephew of Robert Kennedy, too?

[haircutter]

isn’t Martha Moxley family now dead?

if so thank goodness..would be a sin to put her parents through another senseless trial..
Funny how the Kennedy’s, Clinton’s, obama’s and most liberal’s feel they are untouchable...

well come on 2016 and Hillary...we have 30 + years of stories to remind you about, that you have failed to answer to...we’re waiting...

“where they can get a “Low Information Jury” from the overflows who couldn’t get into the latest taping of Maury ... “

Great phraseology. LOL!

[mass55th]

Look on the bright side. Maybe he’ll drive himself off a bridge, OD on drugs, become an alcoholic, hang himself, or go skiing and run into a tree.

[clintonh8r]

I call bullchit. no Kennedy has ever had “inadequate representation.”

[Vermont Lt]

I have friends who work in his prison. It is right down the street from me. He is not popular. Poor baby.

[Mastador1]

Here we go - I’m sure the fix is in for this scumbag to get out of his cage.

Kennedy money, buying elections, politicians and judges for over fifty years.

[G Larry]

Disgusting!

The evidence, as I recall, was pretty damning.

Tree, DNA, Golf Club, etc.
