Skakel Decision Today at 3 p.m.

The Supreme Court of Connecticut will at last release its decision in the Michael Skakel murder case. Skakel, who has suffered a long series of legal setbacks, has been free during an prolonged delay in a motion to reconsider a decision that went against him at the high court. The nephew of Ethel Kennedy has been free while the matter has been pending, pending, and pending some more for more than a year. The delay has been astonishing, leading observers to speculate that Skakel’s determined partisans on and at the court have been manipulating events until they can get the vote they want.

We will know soon.

Spare a thought today for the late Martha Moxley and her devoted family.
