Settlement expected in Skakel lawsuit against Nancy Grace
Greenwich Time ^ | Oct 29, 2014 | Justin Pottle

On the 39th anniversary of the 1975 slaying of Greenwich teenager Martha Moxley, the Kennedy scion accused of her murder is set to settle a slander lawsuit against television host Nancy Grace.

In a stipulation of settlement filed in U.S. District Court in Hartford on Wednesday, legal counsel for Michael Skakel agreed to drop his case against the HLN pundit and fellow legal commentator Beth Karas for comments they made in a 2012 broadcast about DNA evidence near the scene of the crime.

HLN parent companies Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting System were also named in the defamation suit and the subsequent stipulation.

The settlement could be ruled on as early as Thursday, though an exact time has not been set.

I wonder if there is some outcome where both Skakel and Grace both lose simultaneously.

The odds of lightning striking two objects in different places at the same time are pretty good, unfortunately that it would be these two particular objects.....not so good.

Is Nancy Grace still on the air? She’s like Gloria Alredd, someone you don’t usually hear about unless there is a train wreck in progress going full steam ahead.

Read the news story about it. Made me mad the way he got away with it for so long. Hope he rots in prison.

Already read Mark Fuhrman’s book. In fact, had it not been for Fuhrman’s book, Skakel would never have been in jail. The Police knew that either he or his brother did it, and did nothing for years.

> Two former Elan students testified they heard Michael Skakel confess to killing Moxley with a golf club. Gregory Coleman testified that Skakel was given special privileges, saying Skakel bragged, “I’m going to get away with murder. I’m a Kennedy.” ...In January 2003, attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Skakel’s cousin, wrote a controversial article in The Atlantic Monthly entitled “A Miscarriage of Justice,” insisting that Skakel’s indictment “was triggered by an inflamed media, and that an innocent man is now in prison”. Kennedy’s article presents the argument that there is more evidence suggesting that Kenneth Littleton, the Skakel family’s live-in tutor, killed Moxley. He also calls Dominick Dunne the “driving force” behind Skakel’s prosecution.

(also from the wiki-wacky, Littleton began his employment with the family literally hours before the murder. Also, if memory serves, the driving force behind the original prosecution was Skekel’s book proposal)
