This is the same road that the Liberal PC crowd in Washington and our media are now taking our country.

"a repressive Catholic moral and sexual outlook"

Here we go again - same excuses the pervert priests use! What is so repressive about teaching someone to respect their body and not to use someone else...How repressive to teach about right and wrong?! This pathetic man couldn't control his passions nor his temper and made a disaster of his life of his OWN FREE WILL.

I had purchased Fuhrman's book, Murder in Greenwich, earlier but then couldn't really bring myself to read it because I was so sure M. Skakel would get off, and I didn't want to be depressed. Following the guilty verdict, I dug the book out and am now about halfway through it.

READ IT. It's out in paper.

The Skakels were truly a mess for two generations. Just two examples: they actually shot at people from the windows of their home, and they were known to kill small animals with golf clubs; they were also local bullies. Many families in Greenwich didn't allow their kids to mix with the Skakel boys. Martha Moxley's mom didn't know much about them or she probably would have warned Martha not to associate with them, either. The family had moved to Greenwich only a year before their daughter was murdered.

Furthermore, most of the Greenwich police department actually worked for them part-time as chauffeurs and errand runners to supplement their incomes. Rushton Skakel, Sr. was a police buff, and the police frequented the house for coffee (and presumably, doughnuts). The police had gotten the boys out of trouble on many occasions before the Moxley murder.

I am surprised that Fuhrman was even able to compile a book after all the dead ends he ran into and the complete lack of cooperation and obstruction from the Greenwich police department.

READ THE BOOK. It's really good, and a real eye-opener.

Though it's hard to be astonished at what the rich and influential get away with, it's still a surprise that the police in Greenwich were willing to actually ruin the life of the innocent Skakel "tutor-babysitter" Ken Littleton by harrassing him continually in an attempt to get him to confess to the murder rather than focus in on the two suspects who were obvious from the very beginning, Tommy and Michael Skakel. For years, the police even refused to return Martha's diary to her mother in spite of repeated requests. I don't know if she has it back even now.

Am I supposed to feel sorry in some way for the Skakel family????

[ValerieUSA]

These kids were raised by a village - they should have turned out perfectly well.
One must feel sorry for the poor mother who died so young of skin cancer after bearing so many children to a scoundrel who no doubt was a philanderer while she was alive and ill. She had something in common with many Kennedy wives.

Anybody seen or read anything to indicate where or at what manner of establishment and accomodations Michael is to be staying prior to sentencing?
