YESSSSSSSS! LOOOOSER! ROT IN PRISON AND ENJOY AFTERLIFE IN HELL

Your precious Kennedy connections can't help you now Skakel! Rot in hell for what you did to poor innocent Martha Moxley. It took 31 years for JUSTICE to prevail. See? What goes around comes around...EVENTUALLY.

Connecticut's highest court said on Tuesday it had denied a request by Kennedy relative Michael Skakel to reconsider an appeal of his conviction for the 1975 murder of his 15-year-old neighbor Martha Moxley.


Skakel, now 45, was convicted in 2002 of bludgeoning Moxley to death with one of his mother's golf clubs and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In January, Skakel, who was 15 at the time of the murder, lost an appeal of that decision to the Connecticut Supreme Court. Skakel's lawyers filed a motion asking the court to review its decision, but this was denied on March 14 and the ruling was publicly released on Tuesday, a court spokeswoman said.


Skakel's lawyers have argued that the state's five-year statute of limitations had expired when the relative of the Kennedy political family was charged in 2000 with the murder, committed 25 years earlier.



Skakel is a nephew of Sen. Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel. Robert Kennedy, brother of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968.


Evidence included testimony by a former classmate who said Skakel had boasted three years after the murder that he would get away with it "because I'm a Kennedy."


Moxley's body was found on the lawn of her parents' home in the affluent town of Greenwich, Connecticut, next door to the Skakel house. She had been bludgeoned with a golf club that matched a set belonging to Skakel's late mother. Skakel still has a petition for a new trial pending in Stamford Superior Court.


The case added to the aura of tragedy haunting America's most celebrated political royalty three decades after the assassinations of its most famous scions, John and Robert. The powerful Kennedy family has faced battles with alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as suicides, courtroom dramas and tragic deaths.
