Michael Skakel, right, appears for his hearing at Stamford Superior Court, with his attorney Stephan Seeger, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, in Stamford, Conn. A Connecticut prosecutor says Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel will not face a second trial in the 1975 murder of teenager Martha Moxley in Greenwich.
Skakel, a nephew of Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel Kennedy, was convicted of murder in 2002 and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.
Several other people, including Skakel’s brother Tommy Skakel who denied any role in the killing, have been mentioned as possible killers.
On the night of the killing, Martha Moxley and other teens in the Belle Haven neighborhood were out doing pre-Halloween pranks and had visited the Skakel home, police said.
Simpson murder case, published his own book, “Murder in Greenwich,” which asserted Michael Skakel killed Moxley in a jealous rage after seeing Thomas Skakel kiss her.
