Everyone and their mom have been up in arms at him getting awarded a new trial. They say it's because he's a "Kennedy". I thought it was unusual when I first heard why he had been awarded the new trial on why he had gotten it. Nancy Grace on the other hand acted like she took it personally because it was such a slap in the face against a good buddy of hers Mickey Sherman the original defense attorney. It was like he was a god who could do no wrong. (like Cher in "Mermaids") SNAP OUTTA IT! Everyone slips up once in a while. Every good lawyer messes up a case or two. This just got noticed more because of the high profile client.
I find it very interesting that the new defense lawyers are asking why they never really looked into the brother Tommy who was not ONLY the last one to be seen with her, but they had been seen kissing and falling together behind the fence by the pool in the Skakel backyard at around 9:30. Why would Michael be trying to throw his own brother under the bus now? Were I a family member, I wouldn't stand for it, unless it were true...
Is there a way to go back and look for touch DNA with the technology we have these days? Everyone is so insistent Michael is innocent, but no one is saying anything about Tommy. Maybe, for the last 10 years, Michael has served Tommy's time in jail, and if so, that's just sad for his kid. Interesting little tidbit btw, Tommy's daddy forbade access to Tommy's academic and medical records so the police just moved on? Sounds a bit sketchy to me.
What about the tutor that had started with the Skakel's only hours before the murder, Kenneth Littleton? I don't think there is anything to him though. They just basically ruled him out since he'd only been with the family a few hours. This was not all botched by Mickey Sherman though NG, so you can calm down... someone turn her mic off please.
Seems to me, there was a lot of errors with the police investigation, the crime scene was probably contaminated, and being that the supposed suspects were "Kennedy's" I doubt you'll ever figure out for sure what happened. Especially with the father refusing access to medical and academic records... umm subpoena? Seems to me the investigators let a lot slip because of who the suspects were.
It wouldn't surprise me if they let him out of jail on bond because Michael Peterson (known as the staircase murders.. the author, etc. convicted of killing his wife and it is assumed he killed the family friend in Europe the same way) got granted a new trial thanks to the inept state bureau of investigation here in NC. Someone got caught being fraudulent so any cases he worked on any evidence he worked on in those cases are null and void. Yup, he did ALL the evidence that convicts Peterson so he'll probably walk free for 2 murders unless Europe goes after him. Anyway, he's been out on house arrest for several years waiting his new trial. Never say never! It can happen!
So, what do you guys think? Did you see the 48 hours special? Did it get you thinking at all? I'm not saying Mickey Sherman didn't gab with the media too much and give the gallery too much attention, but that doesn't affect how he is as a lawyer. Mickey Sherman is a fabulous lawyer that has done many a case over the years to prove that. This is a huge travesty what they are doing to his reputation.
