...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...
...September 1975, Michael Skakel wasn't a murderer; he was just another rich kid--"a total a______ in his actions and words," Moxley wrote in her journal. She and Skakel, both 15, were neighbors in tony Greenwich, Conn. He had a crush on her; she flirted with his older brother Tommy, 17. That September diary entry included the words "I really have to stop going over there"--meaning the Skakels' house. Her torn and bludgeoned body was found at noon on Halloween, face down under a pine tree, with her pants and underwear around her ankles...
...CONVICTED. MICHAEL SKAKEL, 41, a Kennedy cousin, for the 1975 murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley; in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Wasserman built MCA into an entertainment colossus with a film studio, TV studio, record label, theme parks...

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...
...story when it calls Skakel's sister Julie to the stand as its rebuttal witness. 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...
