Killing her daughter wasn't enough for him so now he has spent 43 years torturing Mrs Moxley.

This.

Even the Skakel's own private detective told his parents he did it. He belongs at the business end of a noose.

Poor Dorothy Moxley. She is never going to get any kind of closure.

The Skakel's are trash. Another great example of how justice works for the rich and famous.

I always felt that Thomas Skakel killed Martha Moxley and had his brother Michael take the fall.

The Skakel's hired a private detective to refute that Thomas did it. He investigated and told them Michael did it. If you knew the facts you'd have no doubt Michael did it.

Reading around online about how the Moxleys are handling this, Dorothy in particular, is that nothing surprises them anymore after everything they have experienced.

“You can still go on,” she said. “You don’t have to bury your head in the sand. You get up and greet the day. You still have your loved one in your heart, and you don’t ever stop crying.”

How did they make that claim? If I remember correctly, Thomas was the last one to see Martha alive. Also, wasn't Michael the one throwing rocks at Martha's bedroom window at a time where detectives believe she was already dead? It's possible that Michael didn't know she was dead at that point. The golf club used to beat Martha to death was lost or never found. To not have that crucial piece of evidence for fingerprint and DNA testing makes the case bungled.

His excuse for any physical evidence that may have been at the murder scene was that he was up a tree masturbating. Up. A. Tree. Masturbating.

Pathetic little murderer can't even make up a decent lie.

Okay, but if you're going to prosecute someone, you better have DNA evidence to prove it.
