Oh Skakel was guilty as they come.
I meant William Kennedy did not rape the woman in Florida. Testimony in the case including from JFK Jr. showed they were just plain trashy.
I bet they all were grateful for the discovery of penicillin.

I was in Georgetown Hosp. as a patient, during his internship. One of his colleagues (during rounds) felt compelled to introduce Smith as “a Kennedy”. I made some sarcastic remark through my mask, IV drips and bandages;) LOL!!!!

Over the years, both Thomas and Michael Skakel significantly changed their alibis for the night of Moxleys murder. Michael Skakel claimed that he had been window-peeping and masturbating in a tree beside the Moxley property from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m...
I gotta admit...I've heard better alibis. Much, much better, in fact.

Would you and I get convicted and released with the same lawyer? Probably. Convicted yes. Released? No. Kennedy is part of the Aristocracy.
You can hate the player, but this wasnt some on the take county judge.
Not sure I understand your point here. The evidence i've seen is that the Kennedys have influence with the highest authorities in the land.

I thought Mark Furhman proved him guilty and he was prosecuted.

Skakel, in prison since a conviction in 2002 for killing his neighbor
when they were both 15, was serving a sentence of 20 years to life.

He had to concoct an alibi like that because he needed to come up with an explanation for the, uh, DNA they found at the scene.I never followed the case closely. Had Martha been raped before the murder?

The point I left out was that you or I would not be sitting in a tree playing with our private parents.
That is what makes us different from the Kennedys.

So if you want to have a conviction vacated just hire an incompetent lawyer in Connecticut? This is why a new trial is *not* granted when "new evidence" is uncovered. It is incumbent on the defense to present its *entire* case at the original trial, rather than get repeated bites at the apple. His lawyer may have felt that presenting a weak alibi (masturbating in a tree outside her window) might do more harm than good.
