"Michael Skakel Files Lawsuit Against Greenwich for Wrongful Conviction in 1975 Moxley Murder Case"
Michael Skakel, a Kennedy cousin who was convicted in 2002 for the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley but later had his conviction overturned, is suing the town of Greenwich and a former police investigator for alleged malicious prosecution and civil rights violations. Skakel claims the investigation was biased and that key evidence was withheld, leading to his wrongful conviction and over a decade spent in prison. The lawsuit seeks damages for the harm caused to Skakel, including loss of liberty, emotional distress, and damage to his reputation and family relationships.
