[BEST45CAL]

BOSTON (Reuters) - 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.

It's Connecticut, not Massachuesetts. Still a state in the liberal Northeast, but not the Kennedy fiefdom.

Do you mean to tell me there are state judicial systems "out there" that can't be bought off by the Kennedy's?

There's hope for the Republic yet.

Well, this just ain't right. She was just a girl, she wasn't even a major yet, and it was 1975. That's 30 years ago. That was the Dark Ages. A LONG time ago. And he only kilt her oncet. 'Sides, he repented. Sort of. Well, maybe not, but so what? The kid's dead and wouldn't even know if he did repent. And it was prolly her fault anyway, him being a Kennedy and all.

:rolleyes:

I know, I'm showing murder victims now. With the post above, there are two who were killed either by a Kennedy or a close relative of the Kennedys.

I live for the day Teddy retires, or leaves the Senate for whatever reason. The entire Kennedy clan's political influence on the USA drops massively that day.
