Report: Michael Skakel Rants That Investigator, Prosecutor in Greenwich Murder Case 'Are Terrorists'

Michael Skakel reportedly unleashed his anger at an investigator and prosecutor involved in his conviction for the 1975 murder of 15-year-old Greenwich resident Martha Moxley.

Apparently, while waiting outside the State’s Attorney’s office in Bridgeport Friday afternoon the Kennedy cousin motioned at a window with his left arm that has a GPS device strapped to it, according to The Connecticut Post. Skakel’s been mandated to wear the device since he was freed in 2013 when his conviction was overturned and granted a new trial after a judge ruled Skakel’s original defense lawyer was not effective.

“Those people in there, they are terrorists,” Skakel reportedly said. “If it’s the last thing I do (former inspector) Frank Garr is going to go to prison and (former state’s attorney John) Benedict too. They are the real criminals.”

Skakel was convicted in 2002 of beating Moxley to death and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. Since the court ruling ordering a new trial, Skakel has been free on $1.2 million bond while prosecutors appeal that decision to the state Supreme Court.

The rant on Friday is just the latest twist to the 39-year-old case. In October, Skakel settled a slander suit he brought against two television legal commentators including Nancy Grace.
