He’s a Kennedy, so, of course he did nothing wrong.

Kennedy’s can kill anyone they want at any time. They are our royalty.

It’s a Kennedy.
Did anyone think that they would not eventually sprinkle enough money on the situation?

I heard that the legal reasoning used, was that he his legal counsel at trial was somehow incompetent.

He or his family hired the lawyer. I’m guessing he didn’t have a public defender .

"My alibi is that I was on her property, up in a tree, alone at midnight, peering into her window, MASTURBATING"

Nutmeggers would love to have a Kennedy from their state; they are so envious of MA.

Yes. But his lawyer knew his alibi would have to account for the cops finding his, uh,.....DNA on the scene.

So they cooked up the "masturbating"-angle.

Sheesh, I'm SURE we ALL regularly climb trees at midnight on neighboring estates in order to peer in and MASTURBATE, right..?

Pshaw, I did that during LUNCH..!

In Palm Beach the Skakels were considered to be even worse than the Kennedys.

Yes, it’s unfortunate, but the Kennedys and Clintons don’t face the same accountability for their actions as faced by commoners. It’s just a wrinkle in our legal system.

Martha McCallum had her brother on, and then Geraldo who claims he knows better than anybody and that Skakel is innocent...
