Defense attorney Mickey Sherman in his final arguments to the jury Monday said the state has been playing "investigative musical chairs for 27 years" in its efforts to pin the murder of Martha Moxley on somebody, until it finally put Michael Skakel into the defendant's chair.

Prosecutor Jonathan Benedict used Skakel's own words in an effort to convince jurors that Skakel for years has been "spinning" alibis for his whereabouts and any possible link to the crime scene, including an elaborate tale of the night's events in a taped interview in 1997 for a book Skakel hoped to publish about his life as a Kennedy cousin.

This all goes back to the police investigation in 1975.

Prints should have found all over the club/clubs.

No my friends, Moxley rammed that 6 iron down her own throat.

Bobby K. bought off the judge and jury and the case is closed.

Moxley joins Kopechne and a score of other females who have bad luck w/Kennedy spawn.

Ethel never showed up at the first trial... hmmmm.

His own mother?

Prediction: If this scumbag is going to write a tell-all about the Kennedys, they won't let him get convicted so they can keep him controlled and silent. If that is not the case, they will see to it that he gets convicted to get him out of their hair. Lovely "Royalty" we have!

CT (and Meek) Bump!

If any one would like to be removed from my CT Bump list, please let me know and it will be done ASAP. Conversely, if you would like to be added the same holds true.

I've already read all the Kennedy tell-alls I need. A more sickly, drug-infested, just plain weird extended family would be hard to find.

But Benedict on Monday bolstered Renna's credibility with Skakel's own words from the 1997 interview with Hoffman. In it, Skakel details his every move that night, some 22 years later. Skakel talks of returning from Jimmy Terrien's, finding no one around the house, and seeing the door to his sister Julie's bedroom closed. "Um, and I remember that Andrea had gone home. .." Benedict's point: If Skakel left for the Terrien home with two of his brothers and his cousin, Jimmy, while Renna and Julie were still at the house, how did Skakel know Renna had gone home?

Uh-oh! Bu-bye Mikey! Enjoy your new friends in your new home!
