I see he is healthy too bad he is not sick or ready to die.
They still want justice.
No one likes the Kennedys. The are entitled scum.
I say this as a former resident of Fairfield County, CT. There is something evil about the Kennedy clan.
Guilty
Wouldn't that make him the nephew of Robert Kennedy, too?
Michael Skakel is the nephew of Ethyl Skakel who married Robert Kennedy - doesn't make him a Kennedy, just a Kennedy-Wannabe ...
Not news. Everyone knows the Kennedys can get away with murder.
That doesn’t make sense. To Skakel, they were Aunt Ethel and Uncle Bobby.
“The way the trial was handled seemed shady to me, IIRC, even if the guy is guilty.”
Yes, that is my recollection too. I think one issue was that had he been tried and convicted at the time he would never have been eligible for such a lengthy sentence as a youthful offender. That might not be accurate, but that’s what I remember. Imho it is not fair to give him a longer sentence due to the fact it took the state so long to bring their case, it is not as if he fled the country or something like that.
And I hope they get it. But this loser and his travails no longer reaches the level of a national news story. He's a messed-up spoiled rich kid, and one of tens of thousands of murders trying to beat their rap. I'm sick of hearing about him as if there's something special or important about him over any other convicted killer.
To the Kennedy Family Trust, he ain't squat ...
Whatever... couldn't care less... (shrug)
Anyway, back to my original point - - it is interesting how the writer of the story refers to this guy Skakel as "the 52-year-old nephew of Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel Kennedy", as if he wasn't also the nephew of Bobby.
