Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel will not face a second trial in the killing of 15-year-old Martha Moxley, who was found bludgeoned to death in Connecticut 45 years ago, a state prosecutor said.
Chief State’s Attorney Richard Colangelo Jr. told a Stamford Superior Court judge Friday that the state cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt due to a lack of forensic and eyewitness evidence against Skakel, NBC Connecticut reported.
Of more than 50 witnesses in the case, 17 are now dead, including the key witness who said Skakel confessed to the 1975 killing, according to the affiliate.
