...backswing, sending the bloodied steel head flying backward across the yard--the young man kept going, stabbing the girl with the sharp splintered shaft. One stab drove a lock of her long blond hair right through her neck, like a thread through a needle. The girl was Martha Moxley. On June 7, 2002, a Connecticut jury decided the young man was Michael Skakel...
...CONVICTED. MICHAEL SKAKEL, 41, a Kennedy cousin, for the 1975 murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley; in Norwalk, Connecticut. Skakel was allegedly unhappy about Moxley's interest in his brother Thomas. The case, frozen for more than 20 years, was built on confessions Skakel made to friends at the Elan School, a drub rehabilitation center for kids in Maine. DIED. LEW WASSERMAN, 89, former talent agent, ex-chairman of MCA Inc. and the last of the Hollywood tycoons; in Los Angeles. Wasserman built MCA into an entertainment colossus with a film studio, TV studio, record label, theme parks...
...sibling may produce a dramatic twist in the murder trial of Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel. So far, relative after relative has backed up Ethel Kennedy's nephew, who is on trial in Norwalk, Conn., for the 1975 murder of his teenage neighbor Martha Moxley. He has said he was nowhere near the murder scene - Moxley's home, across the street from the Skakels' in Greenwich - at 10 p.m. that Oct. 30, the time forensic experts estimate Moxley died. And last week Skakel's elder brother Rushton Jr. and cousin James Dowdle testified that the defendant left home...

Though a fervent supporter of her brother, she told the police in 1975 and a grand jury in 1998 that she thought she might have seen Michael near the crime scene about the time Moxley was slain. According to sources familiar with the grand jury testimony, Julie said she called out, "Michael, come back here," when she saw a figure in the bushes outside the Skakels' front door. She also told investigators that when she was inside the Skakel house, she saw a person dart...
...enormous, brown moustache, took the stand as a defense witness, as did another Skakel brother, David and their cousin James Dowdle. Their testimony about the night of the murder closely resembled Michael's assertion that he was not at the murder scene at the time investigators believe Moxley was killed. Michael says he drove with Dowdle, along with brothers Rushton and John from his home to Dowdle's mansion about 20 miles away and watched television. Michael says they left his home about 9:30 p.m. and returned around 11 p.m. Forensic experts say Moxley was bludgeoned to death with...
