Do ylu think he will be retried? I sort of think they wont. I feel awful for Marthas family.
I just have a feeling that he is not going back to jail-didn’t they say today that he’s going to be retried? I bet he gets acquitted this time (but I do think he did it). I think that money does talk, as Borndem says, and there ae people out there who think he’s served enough time-and you only need one of them on a jury.

Over the years, I've read about Martha's murder and followed Skakel's case. Politics aside and considering the timeline and all the evidence, it seems the killer was someone who had been in the Skakel house that night.
Someone who knew where the golf clubs were located, most likely a Skakel family member.
It would be very difficult for some stranger to the area to come in and steal the club, especially at that hour
Was Martha Moxley's 1975 murder covered up due to suspect Michael Skakel's close ties to Robert F. Kennedy?
15-year-old Martha Moxley was an outgoing child who was brutally murdered while walking back from a friend's house.
Moxley was discovered dead on October 31, 1975, in the backyard of her family home in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The police have hunted for her killer for over 43 years now and the case still does not have any definitive answers about who killed her, and why.
The murder garnered a lot of attention from the media as the suspects were connected to the Kennedys and gave rise to questions whether money and privilege played a part in covering up the unsolved murder.
Totally agree. LE finally arrested the correct one, and the verdict at trial was also right-on. Skakel just needs to sit back, grin & bear it.I don’t think they are still hunting for her killer-I think they had him...Michael Skakel
