For the media, it was anything but an exoneration, but rather the kind of clever legal maneuver only accessible to the super wealthy, free on a technicality.
A famous New Yorker writer, Jeffrey Toobin, when tweeting about the case, appended the hashtag, Rich People Justice.
I live in Westport, Connecticut, with my wife and two teenage boys.
It's just a handful of exits north of Greenwich on I-95.
A few summers ago, my then 15-year-old son Henry was doing an odd job for a woman in town, helping to clean out her garage.
Henry said he told her that I was a journalist, researching the Martha Moxley case.
When she heard that, she immediately stopped what she was doing and said, I know exactly what happened to Martha Moxley.
Michael Skakel murdered her.
She knew just like I knew.
And a lot of people who had important roles in the outcome of this case knew too.
Now I want to ask you a follow-up.
Says who?
My name is Andrew Goldman.
I've been a journalist for 30 years.
I got involved in this case in 2015 when current Secretary of Health and Human Services Bobby Kennedy Jr.
reached out asking if I was interested in ghostwriting his book about it.
He wanted me to help exonerate his cousin.
It was a great offer, except unlike Bobby, I didn't believe Michael Skakel was innocent.
At that particular moment, I really needed the work.
It was a moral quandary.
