On Halloween 1975, Martha Moxley was found brutally murdered outside her home in swanky Greenwich, Connecticut. Twenty-seven years after her death, the State of Connecticut spent some 25 million to convict her friend and neighbor, Michael Skakel, of the murder. At Michael's criminal trial, the State offered no physical or forensic evidence, no fingerprints or DNA, no eyewitness linking Michael to the killing. The trial ignited a media firestorm that transfixed the nation. Now, Skakel's cousin, acclaimed attorney and award-winning writer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. solves the baffling whodunit and clears his cousin's name. Kennedy, with meticulous research and reporting, proves that Michael Skakel did not and could not have murdered Martha Moxley. He chronicles how Skakel was, nevertheless, railroaded amidst a media frenzy by the devious actions of a crooked cop, a trio of mendacious writers, a treacherous family lawyer nursing a secret grudge, a narcissistic defense attorney obsessed by the spotlight, a craven prosecutor gone rogue, and a parade of perjuring witnesses. These colorful characters leap off the pages like seedy villains in a dime-store crime novel...But it's all true. Kennedy also shows how he tracked down the likely killers, a pair of ghosts who moved in and out of Greenwich and whose presence was detected by neither police nor press during 30 years of costly yet shoddy investigation. Today, those men walk free. This startling expose--an explosive exploration of murder and fame--is the tragic true story of Skakel's conviction that the public has never heard. It is the product of hundreds of interviews with Skakel and those who knew both him and Martha Moxley. Kennedy gives us a real-life thriller with twists and turns, and finally answers the 40-year-old question, "Who killed Martha Moxley?" The book is at 330 8 $aonce a riveting drama and an impassioned critique of the American media and legal system. 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation$zConnecticut$zGreenwich 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation 606 $aSocial conditions 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation$zConnecticut$zGreenwich 606 $aLAW$xMedia & the Law$2bisacsh 606 $aLAW$xWitnesses$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xConspiracy Theories$2bisacsh 606 $aTRUE CRIME$xMurder$2bisacsh 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01029788 606 $aSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 607 $aGreenwich (Conn.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aConnecticut$zGreenwich 607 $aConnecticut$zGreenwich$2fast 608 $aTrue crime stories.$2fast 608 $aTrue crime stories.$2lcgft 615 0$aMurder$xInvestigation 615 4$aMurder$xInvestigation. 615 4$aSocial conditions. 615 4$aMurder$xInvestigation 615 7$aLAW$xMedia & the Law. 615 7$aLAW$xWitnesses. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xConspiracy Theories. 615 7$aTRUE CRIME$xMurder. 615 7$aMurder$xInvestigation. 615 7$aSocial conditions. 676 $a364.152/3/097469 686 $aTRU002000$2bisacsh 700 $aKennedy$b Robert F., Jr$01247392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158983203321 996 $aFramed$92891771 997 $aUNINA
