From Fortune:

Michael Skakel, nephew of Ethel Kennedy, and previously convicted of murder in his teenage years, is now suing the lead police investigator and Greenwich for his conviction, hoping to reverse the malicious prosecution. Contending it breached his civil rights, the Connecticut Supreme Court invalidated his case in 2018 and found inadequate defense from his lawyer. His attorney Stephan Seeger, tagged it as a civil rights suit against Garr and the town, and filed it in state court to seek unspecified damages over $15,000. Several other people, including Skakel’s brother Tommy Skakel, were mentioned as possible killers. The slaying took place in the exclusive Bell Haven section of Greenwich where Martha and Skakel were neighbors. Skakel’s appellate lawyers later argued that his trial attorney, Mickey Sherman, made poor decisions, including not focusing on Tommy as a possible suspect and failing to attempt to contact an alibi witness. They said Skakel was several miles away from the crime scene, watching a Monty Python movie with friends when Moxley was killed on Oct. 30, 1975. Skakel has yet to receive responses from the defense. Moxley’s family, however, maintains their belief that Skakel is the killer.
