Michael Skakel v. State Prison Warden

Summary

Via GreenwichTime.com: "No one can accuse Michael Skakel of giving up.

The Kennedy cousin, convicted of killing Greenwich teenager Martha Moxley after a blockbuster trial in 2002, is serving 20 years to life for the crime.

But Skakel will return to a courtroom in April to once again fight for his freedom.

A trial, which will revolve around Skakel's claims that his attorney at the time of the 2002 trial, Mickey Sherman, did not ably defend him, is slated to begin April 15 in state Superior Court in Rockville."
