Did Michael Skakel Kill Martha Moxley? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Argues His Cousin Did Not Do It

Greenwich, CT - The 1975 killing of 15-year-old Greenwich resident Martha Moxley has hung over the community for decades, with former neighbor Michael Skakel being convicted in 2002 of the murder, and then winning a chance at a new trial in 2013.

Through it all, the case has taken various twists and turns, and been dissected by countless pundits and legal experts, and now a new book by Skakel's cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., argues that he didn't do it.

In the book, entitled "Framed," Kennedy claims Skakel did not, and could not, have killed Moxley, and instead points a finger at two men he believes are the actual killers.

"Kennedy also shows how he tracked down the likely killers, a pair of ghosts who moved in and out of Greenwich and whose presence was detected by neither police nor press during 30 years of costly yet shoddy investigation," the book's publisher, Skyhorse Publishing, states in a promotional release on its website. "Today, those men walk free."

Those two men, who were teenagers from New York City in 1975, are Adolph Hasbrouck and Burr Tinsley, reports People Magazine. Neither were ever charged but allegedly admitted to being near the scene of the crime on the night of the murder.

Skakel has been free on $1.2 million bond since winning a new trial in 2013, and Moxley's mother, Dorothy Moxley, told People that she does not believe Kennedy's book because she continues to believe that Skakel killed her daughter.
